Break in oil for those small engines for me 1-2 hours 50% duty cycle under load…..change. Then change at 10 hours…..I usually run our generator a lot because we bush camp so. It probably gets 40-50 hours between changes then.

I use our Honda to top off our Zendure Superbase V4600 solar generator on cloudy days.

The oil is dark because it is the break-in lube. Break in lube is heavier because it is heavier so that while on the shelf the lubricate stays in place and does not drain off critical parts.

You can find the motor oil standards on the back of the oil bottle. There really is not difference in the premium brands Amsoil, Royal Purple except price and marketing. Honda does not recommend using synthetic oil until after 100 hours of use to allow the rings to seat properly. Synthetic oil is too slick at first.

I am a fanatic about my Honda machines and change the oil on average after about seven yours of use. Even if the machine runs for fifteen minutes I change the oil, clean the spark plug, clean the spark arrester and drain all fuel from the system including the tank. I also fog the cylinder to protect against rust.

Used oil left in the machine can cause damage to the oil level sensor and basically gunk up the machine. When needed I want the machine to start and produce power asap.

Personally Super Tech does meet the industry standards, but I would not use it my machines.

Good luck on your trip.

Dude, get a damn measuring cup, at least, you won't wonder all the time about the oil level
