How To Change Oil in Honda 2200 While On The Road

When you're a fulltime nomad, servicing your vehicle and other equipment in public places is something you'll need to learn to become fluid (pun intended) and comfortable with if you're a DIY style traveller. Come along as I take you through the complete process of changing the oil in my Honda EU2200i generator in the parking lot of O'Reily's Auto in Mount Shasta, California

50 hrs? I bought an EU2000i when they first came out, about 20 years ago. I’ve run it 24/7 for several weeks straight each year. I’ve changed the oil maybe 3-4 times. The low oil alert works. Just add oil and it runs. These are rugged generators

I like it! I’m all for less work. I’ll remember to worry less about how frequently I change the oil. I felt like 50 hours was excessive but that’s what service manuals typically suggest, over maintenance

did you buy a diesel can as a theft deterrent?

[@thecumminscamper]

No, I bought it and originally put diesel in it for emergencies. With a 52 gallon tank in the truck I never needed the spare 5 gallons so I started using the diesel van for gas. I also have a 6 gallon outboard motor van filled with diesel for my diesel heater and that acts as my backup fuel for emergencies. Good question!

Are those new, more rugged crocks?

[@thecumminscamper]

“Off-road crocs” they’re called. I love them
