In this video, a Weingartz expert explains how to change the oil on a Honda Generator EU2000i.
Safety precautions - Before performing any repair or maintenance on a generator:
• Turn fuel valve on top of the fuel cap to off - prevents any spilling, any leakage or fire as the machine spills
Tools you’ll need:
• Flathead screwdriver
• Oil drain pan
• Rag
• Quart of Honda’s 10w 30
Here’s what to do:
• Run the generator to an operating temperature in order to ensure that everything drains properly, and you get a faster drain when you’re draining the oil
• Use the flathead screwdriver to access the oil. Remove the access panel on the side
• In the bottom left hand corner, you will see a cap, which also acts as an oil dipstick, oil fill, and oil drain
• To drain the oil, remove the cap
• Tip the generator on its side and let the oil flow out into a drain pan
• Once it’s done draining, tip the machine back upright and use your rag to clean up any excess oil that spilled on the housing
• Refill the generator with Honda 10w 30, they recommend 13.58 ounces to fill the machine or fill the machine up to the very top level of the threads
• Once you fill the machine to the proper level, push the dipstick in until it’s at the threads and pull it back out to see where the oil level is on the stick
• Once you have the right oil level, screw the cap back into the threads
• Again, use you rag and make sure any excess oil is cleaned off the generator before you put that access cover back on
• Put the access panel back on
• Turn the generator on, choke all the way to the on position, and turn the fuel valve back on
• Start the generator and let it warm up for 10 to 15 seconds and then take the choke off
• You’ll notice a green light on the front of the generator - this light shows that the generator is making voltage
• The generator is equipped with a low oil alert so if you ever run the machine low on oil it will shut itself down to save the engine
• There is also a light on the front of the generator that indicates why the machine shut down
• If the oil is low you will see a red light
