Why is this important? Generators are often
required to run for hours at a time, day after
day. Generac’s OHVI engine utilizes the same
type of pressurized oil lubrication used to give
automobile engines long and trouble free lives.
Our engine has a significantly longer life than
many competitive engines - an unprecedented
three to four times longer. That’s the reliability
you need for the long
run times emergency
backup can require.
