Where to add oil to Honda EU 2000 generator?
Set the generator level and add only enough additional oil until the oil level is just a little under the front bottom edge of the oil drain/fill cavity (see figure 3 on the right). It may easier if you use a short flexible hose between the funnel and oil cavity.
What should I do if my Honda generator is low on oil?
Don’t run the generator on a dirty or dusty surface; place it on a piece of plywood or other clean, level surface. Check the oil level before starting; the EU2000i’s low-oil cutoff switch will prevent starting if the oil level is low. It is good practice to always have some oil handy while the generator is in use.
What kind of oil does a Honda engine use?
The Honda manual recommends 10W-30 weight (for our temperature) conventional mineral engine oil. Synthetic oil is very high quality and an improvement over conventional oil.
What kind of oil does a Honda air filter take?
The Honda air filter uses a foam element that can be cleaned with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent. After cleaning rinse it thoroughly with warm water and allow it to fully dry and re-oil it with filter oil. Honda suggests using engine oil, but does not give details about the oil weight. My preference is to use special air filter oil.

How often should you change the spark plug on a Honda generator?
Changing engine oil is inexpensive ‘health insurance’, therefore change it frequently. Also, use high quality oil. On the other hand, if the generator was used much less than 200 a year, no point changing the spark plug every year.
