We just endured a 7 day power outage here in Charleston, WV. I ran my Generac GP17500E for 100 hours during the outage. The display panel is calling for an oil change (no problem) and the owners manual is calling for a valve adjustment. Is this really necessary every 100 hours? It looks simple enough to do but a pain to deal with every four days of running time. Thanks in advance for any feedback!!
Generac GP17500E Question

Changed oil and checked valve clearance today. Oil needed changed but valve clearance was spot-on. Not difficult to do and the gaskets are rubber and can be reused if you're careful removing the covers. No leaks! Thanks rhenning and 89yt12!
