How often should I change the oil in my standby generator?

Change the oil during regular professional service; the exact interval depends on your generator’s model, run hours, and load. We include oil changes as part of routine maintenance and can confirm timing on site. Most manufacturers also call for monthly test runs, which is a good time to check oil level and look for leaks. At a minimum, the oil should be changed at least once a year. Generator Maintenance plans make upkeep simple with scheduled inspections and member perks in areas like Point Pleasant Beach and Toms River.

Quick checks:

• Test-run monthly and check oil level.
• Watch for leaks or dashboard alerts.
• Call if it’s hard to start or stay on.
