Portable generators are a great way to provide power to your home or business, but most do not use oil filters. Oil filters are used to remove impurities from engine oil, and can help extend the life of an engine. Without an oil filter, dirt, dust, and other particles can get into the engine and cause it to run inefficiently and potentially break down. Portable generators are typically small and lightweight, making it difficult to incorporate an oil filter without drastically increasing the size and weight of the generator. Additionally, portable generators are typically used in short bursts, making it difficult to justify the added cost of an oil filter.
