in the pictures it shows a spin on auto type oil filter &amp; says it is a pressure lubricated system. Is this true?

Only the GP15000E and the GP17500E come with full pressure lubrication which have a spin on oil filter. The GP1800,3250,5500,6500,6500E,and 7500E all have the slash sump engine as per the spec sheet I uploaded under customer images.More info is available on generac site: generac.com/Portables/GPSeries There are other series with a full pressure system too.(XP and XG) those pictures are not for all models.

Yes but recommend not to get it. A lot of trouble with car after installed it and spending money on sensors that went out because of the oil on the filter

Unless Generac changed the motor this year, the 5943 does not have a spin on filter. It uses a splash lubrication system and does not have an internal oil pump.

Michael,The filter had a VERY light film of oil, which I consider insufficient for my use. Otherwise a good filter I would recommend it to others for the price. Good Luck

I don't know. I do know this is for oil filter "cartridges" ONLY. Not for your regular oil filters.

It is what I order for mine and have been using for about the past 4 self-performed oil changes. From all I have been able to find out this equals the filter the dealer would use if you take your car in to them for an oil change.

No filter... MY unit arrived with a container of oil to be added to the engine before operation... I chose to use a synthetic oil.

If the filter is new it is ready to go out of the box. You shouldn't need to add any oil until you clean the filter.

I have no noise really to speak of. I've used K&N; open oil type and did get some whistle.The good thing about the filter is no oil, no oil can get in your intake which I have read can happen.I've read a lot before I bought this and most, not all, say this is best way to go, gives you better air flow but not to much like open oil type and w/o oil. The closed oiled system is cheaper and will do fine, that fact that it's closed makes it quite. Either one is very good.

Dear Sir or Madam:I'm very sorry. I don't know. I've changed the oil per the instructions, and I didn't see any mention of an oil filter. You may wish to consider looking for an on-line PDF version of the manual. Good luck.

Mine doesn't do that, and I'm not a mechanic. Lubrication sounds reasonable, but I don't know. Sorry.

The filter comes with oil already on it, but when you wash and clean it you will have to re-apply air filter oil, yes

It filters large pieces of debris out. The filter is not an oil filter as in a engine oil filter. It's a macro filter. No filter needs to be purchased that I know of.

The filter can be purchased from your automotive supply house. Just get the number off the old filter or refer to your owners manual. Any type of spin on filter will be adequate for the hydraulic oil.Dan M.
