The manual calls for an oil change after the first 25 hours of operation. If below 40 degrees, or if it's run continuously in hot weather (above 85 degrees), change oil every 100 hours or every year.
Other than those conditions, change oil every 2 years.
I saw nothing in the manual about failure to follow that schedule causing severe engine damage. Incidentally, the unit will shut off if oil level is low.
Seems to me there is something wrong if 39 generators "exploded" right after being serviced by this guy's technicians. My inner skeptic smells a rat.
