Ron,

I change my generator oil every 500 hours. I use Mobil Delvac 1 5W40 synthetic. I change my oil at the end of each summer because I use the generator more during the summer. I like to get the old oil out soon after it has been contaminated with dirt and bad things that are formed. I don't like for used oil to sit in the generator for long periods of time.

IMO 50 hours is way too soon to change synthetic oil. As a rule of thumb, synthetic will last 3 times longer than regular oil.

In the series 60 I change it every 15,000 miles.
