Thank you! As a newbie to ftl Rving! This was helpful!
Glad I could help!
Maybe comment there is no oil filter. I'm new to this generator but you've done the best quick oil change on a onan 4000 I've seen. Thanks brotha
There is a foam ring around the back end of the air filter. Due to age and heat, etc. the old foam ring often sticks to the engine when you pull the old air filter out. So be sure to reach in and make sure that there isn't foam from the old air filter stuck in there before you put the new air filter in. Great video. Thank you.
Just changed oil on the 30 XP Onan qg4000. Easy. Your video really made it easy. TX so much.
Don
Thanks glad it was helpful.
Please don’t use pipe compound on the drain plug. You don’t want this to contaminate your engine.
I have a 2019 30xp. TX for this video. My paperwork says 5 w 40. Guess depends where you live. You really made it look easy.
Don
Don Weis yes depends on where you live and temperature.
This is awesome! Thanks
Loosen the oil check cap to make the oil drain faster
I was thinking the same thing.
I was actually waiting to see you put the oil in because I wanted to put oil in mine not ready to change it I just want to put some in
It helps drain oil faster and more complete if you loosen the oil filler cap so there is no vacuum. Also, doesn’t the manual say to run a straight weight oil unless cold weather camping? I do straight 30 synthetic in my key model as I’m summer only.
I believe I mentioned that about the weight of the oil depends on the temperature of the area you live in. Yes oil cap off and running the generator before hand to heat up the oil all helps it drain faster.
You didn't show putting the oil in....i just got my rv and would have liked to see that
Me too
Really you don’t know how to put oil in
Sell it then
what about oil filter and spark plug?
No oil filter on these and it’s not due for spark plug change.
@@sfe ok cause I ordered the kit on amazon and it comes with spark plug, two pints of oil an air filter and fuel filter. I guess I should read the manual lol. How often do I change the spark plug? On my riding lawn mower I don't change it every year.
I’m not sure what the recommendations are for when to do the plug. This was my first oil change on it. I might do it next time. My Snowmibles and other Motorsports I do at least once a year. So I might start doing the plug on the generator once a year also.
@@sfe cool me too, thanks
Thx!
Maybe you can help me. I have the same generator and it’s not starting in my RV what would be the problem
Or some trouble shooting steps. Thanks
3 things you always check when trouble shooting an engine. Air, Fuel and spark. Those are the 3 things an engine needs to work. Check those 3 things are getting to the engine.
There is a built in circuit breaker switch on this model
Does the RV need to be level? Nice 31FS! Mines a 2018. And is a 6th of a quart about 19 fl oz? Just making sure lol
I would do it on level ground
And is a 6th of a quart about 19 fl oz?
Thanks!
Hey Brah, Where you put da oil?
In the dipstick hole with a funnel
What spec is your generator
Mine is a spec L
No oil filter on these?
Rex Janes no oil filter. Very easy to do.
No oil filter? Explains why I can't find it.
Haha nope no oil filter just air filter and fuel filter.
I dunno man... I don't think Onan recommends full synthetic oil...their own branded oil is 15w40 is it not? The best oil I've ever used in these generators is Shell Rotella T4 in the 15w40 flavor
Oil weight is based on your locations high/low temperatures. If you watch my other video I actually run Onan’s oil and it’s basically the same oil.
Synthetic oil won't hurt, but it won't help either.
It is unnecessary to spend more on Synthetic, for this generator
What do you mean oil for where you live? I don't know where you live.
I live 30 mins from Death Valley (for real)
What oil would you use here in the summer months?
Oil weight is determined by both engine recommended and temperature range of where you live.
10w -30 synthetic would be fine in the hot heat of your area in CA
The hotter it is, the thinner the oil gets when hot. 20w-50 is thicker than 10w-30. If the engine is older, and it's as hot as death valley, then I would use 20w-50. Most new engines use 5w-30. If you lived in Antarctica, I would say, use 0w-30.
@@thediplomasta5891 Thanks. I bought a new RV. It has the Onan 4000 OG.
It has @80 hours on it. I did the first oil change at 25 hours and found some SAE 30.
I'm getting ready for a trip. Halloween at Dumont Dunes (basically Death Valley) I expect highs in the mid 90's and lows in the 70's. 20 W 50?
@@TheBandit7613 no. The straight 30 weight is good. As long as you are keeping up with the oil change schedule, you're good.
Could I drain the oil using an oil extractor through fill port like I would most small engines?
Not sure. Pretty easy to just pull drain plug.
Does anyone have a recommendation on oil weight living in SoCal? The guy at the repair shop didn’t have an answer and so he won’t be getting my business. lol.
Any reason why you are using 4 stroke motorcycle oil ??
Because it’s a 4 stroke and it’s good oil.
cant find 10w-40 here in So. Cal thats Synthetic except for motorcycle oil but its same oil and its just fine to use like the video poster stated this is a 4 stroke engine on the Onan.
What about your oil filter
No oil filter on the generator
You won't find synthetic oil at an auto parts store? LOL.
Yes you will I did.
GREAT VIDEO....what about oil filter ?
No oil filter on this generator
