I finally got a chance to change the oil in the generator on the toy hauler. Only issue was getting the oil filter off. I went and purchased the 65mm oil filter socket and it just spun on the filter. Ended up using a large pair of channel locks and was able to break the factory torque on the filter and then it came right off. I went with the 15W-40 oil as the replacement as we use the camper year around and being in the NC/VA boarder area we have such a wild temp swing I figured that oil would best meet all our requirements year round. I want to put an extended drain hose on the petcock so that I don't have to rig up an oil catch funnel and jug next time. The on board generator is a great item to have.
