Support from purchases via links helps fund future videos In this video, I walk you through a complete oil and oil filter change (Maintenance A) on a Generac 20kW whole-home standby generator running on propane. This is a start-to-finish, real-world walkthrough showing exactly how I service my own generator to keep it reliable for winter power outages. I cover how to safely warm up the generator, shut it down, drain the oil, replace the oil filter, refill with the correct oil, reset the service reminder, and verify proper oil level after running. This procedure is very similar across most Generac home standby generators, but always check your owner’s manual for your specific model. Using the official Generac oil change kit helps maintain warranty coverage and ensures the correct oil and filter are used.
