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

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.

Here is Generac's web pages where the maintenance kits I previously
referred to are sold.

Although the kits are individually priced at around $50, I bought 10 of
them for $260 online to avoid the annual hassle. The plugs come
pre-gapped, the air and oil filters are exact Generac parts, the kit
also contains a funnel and cleaning cloth for oil clean up, and they
even throw in a small spark plug wrench.

Do yourself a favor if you intend to do the proper annual maintenance
yourself and just buy a batch of these kits. It makes the whole process
much simpler.

Hope this helps!
