Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel Generator - 5-hr Runtime Oil Change (using drain tube)

This video shows how to change the oil using the drain tube that comes with the generator. This is much simpler than the old-style generators from Champion which required the difficult removal of a drain plug and draining the oil through a hole in the bottom of the case.

We've got 5 hours of run time on the generator, so according to the instructions it's time to change the oil.
We've got 5 hours of run time on the generator, so according to the instructions it's time to change the oil. Unlike modern car engines, the one-cylinder engine in the Champion generator needs a short "break-in" period followed by an oil change. This is the period where the rings on the piston are set and other mechanical parts get aligned.
