How Often Should I Perform Maintenance on My Generator?
Maintenance schedules can vary depending on the specific DuroMax generator model, but all generators follow hour-based maintenance intervals to help ensure reliable performance and long engine life.
Each generator model will list the required maintenance tasks and intervals in the Maintenance Schedule section of the owner’s manual.
Typical Maintenance Intervals
Most generator maintenance is performed based on engine operating hours, including tasks such as:
Checking engine oil before each use
Initial oil change during the break-in period
Regular oil changes after a certain number of hours
Air filter inspection and cleaning
Spark plug inspection or replacement
Valve clearance checks at specified intervals
These intervals may vary slightly depending on the generator model and operating conditions.

Common Questions
Do maintenance intervals depend on runtime hours?
