Onan Genny maintenance parts

[Richpatty]

Hi all,

Quick question. Looking to see where folks get their air filter, fuel filters and oil filters (etc.) for your generator. I know you can go to Amazon and even Walmart (online), but often those parts are non Onan. Some say they don’t always fit right or you wonder about their quality.

You can buy Onan branded parts, but they are often two to five times the cost. For example, my Onan air filter would be around $50. Seems excessive…

What does everyone do?
Just wondering.
Thanks
Rich

I used to get them from Cummins but now I’m just letting FCCC do the services at annual visits and not worry about it.

I get spares when I have the chassis maintenance done. If generator is due I have them use the spares and replace my extras - in case I need them while in the road.

Ok. Thanks. I tend to do my own maintenance on the genny…as oil changes, air filters and antifreeze changes are not that bad to do.

I guess it looks like you just get the parts from freightliner.

I used to do my own as well. FL isn’t expensive so I just add to my service visit. Easy and done.

I guess I will have to price it out next time I am there…. Which will be next November…. :-/

Last I checked, Amazon has OEM parts.

Yup….but still quite a bit more expensive….
