hello all, i was wondering if anyone could tell me what type of oil and how much to put into my "oil fill tube" on my 12v generator. my generator works, but it makes a squeeking noise every so often. i'm hoping some oil may buy me some time before i have to break it down and replace bearings/bushings. thanks -DVZ

DVZ,

This information is in an Owner's Manual and probably in Shop Manuals. The advice for lubricant in both 6v and 12v generators is the same: every 1,000 miles fill the cup at both ends of the generator (if a cup is found at both ends) with light oil ("3-in-One Oil") or engine oil.
