Howdy,
You need to run it more when its hot out. I had that issue after really cleaning the entire unit really good. I simply ran it with a hard load for about 3 hours with the front panel up the first hour, and then with the front panel open. As the sun was out and hot. All the little...

Here is a new...

Howdy,
Any skid based MEP-8xx makes it difficult to do a oil drain. You can pick up a pipe to hose connector to temporally use to drain your oil.
For trailer mounted MEP-8xx gensets, part of the BII
pipe to hose fitting should have been installed.
