Onan 5500 - found water in oil. How??
Wondering if anyone has ever found water in the oil of an Onan 5500 gen set. We have to store it away from home and with major snow here in Virginia we have not been able to get to it for 2.5 months. On checking the oil yesterday, March 07, found water in the oil. You know, the white/yellow mix look. It is in a Class A Gulf Stream Sun Voyager. Between the gen cover, the chassis compartment and an RV cover, I cannot figure out how water could have gotten in the crankcase. It started ok but I didn't run it but a few minutes. I know it was bad to run it a minute, but its also bad not to run it and I can't change the oil for another month due to access.
All you folks with your units are home are lucky.
Just a water mystery.
Any ideas?
