It arrived as said it would, well made parts too. It took me about 40 minutes to do it all change oil, plugs, air filter and clean up.

22kw Maintenance Kit Parts Are A Sure Fit
Oil and air filter change using the Generac Gurardian maintenance kit was a time saver. I did not use the spark plugs included in the kit since the original plugs are like new. Peace of mind knowing original equipment parts are a sure fit.

 Good But Could Be Better
I like the idea of a maintenance kit - just one more reminder to keep it in tip top shape, and it makes it so much more convenient to have the parts on hand rather than having to track them down at a dealer or on the website. Only issue is I guess I was surprised the kit did not also include Generac's recommended oil for the oil changes. So now, I still have to track something down and make sure I'm getting the right thing before I can proceed when scheduled maintenance comes due.
I'm sure for most Generac technicians that deal with this everyday the correct oil recommendation is right there and obvious, but for me it's just not top of mind and I know a year from now I'm going to forget the exact viscosity and whether it's supposed to be synthetic or whatever, so I'll need to do a research project when the time comes. Almost defeats the whole purpose of having the kit in the first place.

We haven't been notified that the kits with oil are available for the new models. With that being said, all oil recommendations can be found in the owner's manual. Here's what Generac suggests...
SAE 30 above 32º F (0º C)
10W 30 between 40º and -10º F (4º and -23º C)
Synthetic 5W 30 for all temperature ranges
Some people like to run the 10W30 in the summer time and the 5W30 Synthetic (Which the Cold Weather Kit suggests). Since you don't experience 100+F temps on a daily basis in the summer, the 5W30 would be a good choice all year round. moreWas this review helpful? 104 |

Great To Have On Hand
This seemed like a good value to me. My contractor could not sell it to me for this price and he was fine to let me buy it.
Great!

As Advertised
I checked around for prices, and this site was by far the better deal and included everything. My only problem was the inability to use Paypal.
I spoke to the staff regarding several questions I had and ordered the unit.
It was delivered on the early side of the quoted time frame, and I was kept aware of it's arrival time at every stage.
It is in and working fine.
