Review on ⚡ Generac 6482 Home Standby Generator Maintenance Kit for 8 kW 410cc Engines by Marcus Akram

Revainrating 1 out of 5

WARNING: Will not work on Generac XG8000E with 410cc engine.

Firstly the product supplied is a genuine Generac OEM so there is no problem here and the combined service kit is great value and very easy to do it yourself to do - quick replacement of oil, oil and air filters, spark plugs. Now the problem is that it doesn't work as intended on the XG8000E. I wish I had read the reviews and seen this. I was able to use the oil filter (although it's longer) but the air filter had to be ordered separately and I went to NAPA to get a spark plug to match. It would be nice if Revain and Generac provided a model selection drop down menu that would then point to the correct service kit (similar to auto parts). For example, if I go to electricgeneratorsdirect.com, I see a link to the model for the kit and know which kit to order.

Pros
  • Service every 200 hours or every 2 years recommended
Cons
  • Expensive
