Get a Wix filter , they're the best in the business - Fram is crap .

I'm still confused why there are TWO oil filler caps, one of which
is seemingly on the head on top of one of the cylinders:

It took me a while to realize there was an oil-drain hose, tucked
away *behind* the filter:

The really bad news is that nowhere near 1.5 quarts came out:

So, from the start, the generator was very low on oil:
