He is 100% remote when he goes out, so he will run it for a week at a time without turning it off. He said if he changed it at 250 hours he would have to change it every trip.
Just figured i would share this, so if your out on a trip and over your 250 hours, don't panic...Onan builds good equipment!

Same with my 2006 units on the Renegade. We change every six to 12 months depending on use. We will run one or both 24 hours for 4 to 6 days. We have 11000 hours on one and 15000 plus on the other. No issues other than fuel pressure sensor fail 2 years ago.
One of our customers has the same model on his boat with 20000 hours plus and does the same. All fluids every 12 months irrespective of hours.
Motors have changed since 2006 so it may be the current Kybota power units are not as robust as the original Cummins which may have been a rebadged Korean model.
