You need a "Contractor Generator" which is a 10HP engine, 5,000W

Change the oil (SAE30 Non detergent) every 40 hours.

(I did it last thing Sunday night, every week for over a year)

If you don't, premature engine failure.

(I wore out a couple eng-gen units before I figured that one out)

Only if that is the oil that the manufacturer recommends. Follow the
manufacturers recommendations for type and weight of oil.

I have never heard of any manufacturer that as disallowed warrantee for too
many oil changes.
