Generac sells a service kit for each generator including spark plug, oil

else) a lot of confusion.
I didn't know about that, and, certainly Generac support didn't
volunteer that information, particularly when I asked about the oil
and the plug.

But, at this point, I think I'm fine:
a) The oil filter appears to be correct,
b) The spark plug will be compared to the old one
c) The oil is just plain old motor oil (SAE & API notwithstanding)
d) The air filter appears to be a serviceable filter (cleanable)
The Generac technicians on the forum I previously cited recommended
synthetic oil, and I therefore have been using Mobil 1 for annual oil
changes since I installed my Generac in 2007. Also I am not aware that
the air filter can be cleaned and re-used as you state above. Suggest
you check both of these items carefully.
