* Model-Specific Requirements: The type of oil needed depends on the specific model of your generator. Different models may have different engine sizes, types, and operating conditions, which impact oil viscosity and specifications.
* Owner's Manual is Key: The most reliable information comes from your generator's owner's manual. It will clearly state the recommended oil type, viscosity, and specifications for your specific model.
Where to Find the Information:
1. Your Owner's Manual: This is the primary source of information.
2. Suzuki Website: Visit the official Suzuki website and search for your generator model. You may find a user manual or FAQ section with details.
3. Authorized Suzuki Dealer: Contact a local authorized Suzuki dealer. They can provide specific guidance for your generator.
General Oil Guidelines (but always refer to your manual):
* Viscosity: Look for an oil viscosity suitable for the operating temperature range of your generator (typically 10W-30, 10W-40, or 5W-30).
* Type: Ensure you use a high-quality oil specifically designed for gasoline engines (not diesel).
* API Rating: The American Petroleum Institute (API) rating is a good indicator of oil quality. Look for an oil with an API rating suitable for your generator.
Important: Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil type and viscosity. Using the wrong oil can damage your generator's engine.
