ONAN support FAQ

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.

  • Where can I find the model and serial numbers on my Onan generator?

    The model and serial numbers are located in the gray boxes on the generator's nameplate. You will need these specific numbers when contacting an Onan dealer for parts, service, or product information.

  • Can my Onan generator be used as a life support system?

    No. Onan generators are not intended for use as life support systems, as they can stop without warning. Redundant power or an alarm system must be used if operation is critical for health or safety.

  • What type of oil should I use in my Onan gasoline generator?

    It is highly recommended to use API performance Class SJ, SH, or SG engine oil. For temperatures consistently above freezing, SAE 30 or 15W-40 is typically preferable, but always consult your operator manual for the correct viscosity grades based on ambient temperature.

  • Who handles warranty service and repairs for Onan RV generators?

    Warranty claims, services, and part replacements are processed through the official Cummins Onan authorized dealer and service center network.
