Diesel generator service is very important to prolong generator set life. The power generator set should have filters and oil changed on a regular time. We need to keep the power generator from dust and check the line connection to make sure they are tight. These procedures are done every 3 month or 100 hours depend on which comes first. Meanwhile, bad weather condition could increase the maintenance requirements, such as more dust, heat, moisture, so the power generator needs to be set in a ventilation space. Also any commercial type use or prolonged usage. The generator also be check from an electrical standpoint to make sure that is working well.
Among diesel generator service, oil changes is a regular but important procedure. As both of us knows, engine oil have its limited life, if it is over time used, the oil would lose lubrication and carbonizes, leading engines gets contaminated with carbon deposits or sludge and make engine life shorter. This point called “carbonizing” point, so the engine oil need to be changed before this point to make sure engine inside is clean and could work hard again. If not, carbon deposits start clogging the oil pickup screen decreasing oil supply and increasing frication.
What time is needed to change the oil? The first time is 25 hours and then 3month or 100 hours depending on what comes first.
And what oil type is good for diesel engine? Synthetic DIESEL motor oil should be used, normally is oil 15w40 is required.
