RV Generator Oil Change - Champion 3500 Watt Dual Fuel Generator 

Thanks. I have a similar generator and this video was super helpful. Also, they did tighten that bad boy down.

Well, this came in very handy as I am about to do my first oil change on the Champion

Very helpful thank you! You were exactly right the drain plug is so tight that I thought I must be the wrong bolt! Thanks to you got it done! Someone needs to inform the manufacturer!

I just setup our dual fuel 3400 Champion yesterday, and they have added a tube on that drain plug you were struggling with. The black tube goes upward and attaches to another part of the motor with a simple spring clip. You undo the clip and point the hose down, and it drains the fluid easily. No tools, no struggle.

Dude I have the same generator. Mine came with a flexible hose where the oil plug is on yours and attaches to a stand off bolted to the engine. So much easier. This must have been an afterthought from champion.after they manufactured yours. I’d contact them and see if they will send you one. They may for free. Just a thought. You will be much happier changing the oil. You literally loosen the clamp on the standoff connected to the bolt, pull the hose off and drain it into a container. Then you stick it back onto the standoff slide the clamp back up into place. Your done. If you watch other videos you will see what I’m talking about

Thanks, very simple and informative. Much rather watch than read a manual. It has been a great generator for the two years I have had to use it when PG&E has cut our power for days at a time.

Thanks! I have the Champion 3400 arriving tomorrow and will need to do my break-in and oil change.

Thank you, much better than reading the manual.

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing.

Glad to have this , well explained with great tips!

Great vid! Thanks man!!

Still helpful in 2020, man the internet age is insane lol you can learn whatever whenever.

Great tip thanks.

nice video i kinda meet you at the The GateWay To Cape Cod Camping/Trailer Park

Just curious. What model and BTU is your AC? Have you run it on propane and how did it handle the load on propane and gas? Thanks for the video

Can i use oil automotive 10w-30 or 4T 10W-30?

Every the ad says it is!

Hi can you make a video on what to do if the generator won't start after a long period of no use?

I was kind of psyched, thinking perfect, I'm at 60 hours and will need to do this eventually. As soon as you got to a socket wrench or whatever that was, I realized I'm just going to pay someone to do it. 😀 (I'm boondocking right now, I've emptied the tank four or five times now, I figured out how to fix a lot of little things that have gone wrong, but it's 94 degrees here in to Grand Junction Colorado, and I had to turn on the generator and air conditioning because my cat was giving me the evil eye, and I am just going to pay someone to change the generator oil. 😒

If you ever do that again and have an extremely tight bolt it is best to utilize a breaker bar. That will save your ratchet driver.

No oil filter?

How much of oil you add?

I just wanna know why you are wearing gloves?
