I just bought an two MEP-018A 10kw generators (w/trailer) on the GSA site. They seem complete except for the top motor cover sheet metal on one unit and a couple of miner items. The engines turn over by hand OK. One has 40 hours since rebuild in 1998 and the other has 102.
I want to change the oil and filter before I try to start them and am not sure what to use. I'm thinking 30W non-detergent but I'm not sure what they use. I think the filter is from NAPA and should be able to match it.
Any tips before I attemp to start these units and see if they work ? I hope to use one unit for backup power for the house and will probably sell the other one and the trailer.
Thanks in advance for in information/tips you can give me. I'll be out of town for a couple of days so I may not answer this post until the first of the week.
