I have a 6.5 LP Onan generator on my 93 GV, I just want to change the oil and filters and do a general PM before heading out to NAC. Can I buy the filters at a parts store or do I need to order from Cummins? TIA for any advice
I have gotten the strangest parts from NAPA, several times in tiny towns. I would think they would have what you need.
Biggest problem is finding a store where they can skip "make, model, year..." and actually look for the part you need.
I would probably remove the filters and take them with... or snap a good pic of the numbers. If they don't stock it, next day.
If you tell them it's a motor home they drop the make model thing and probably move on to chassis ( freight liner, whatever ). Say Foretravel and there lost. Easier to do the pic thing.

Don't the filters have numbers on them and if they do those numbers can be crossed.
Here's some #s that I have,
Oil Fram 3600
Air Wix 42371
Oil Napa 1762
Hope this helps, I'm using the Costco synthetic 5-30 in the generator and I'm satisfied with the performance after dry camping 10 of the 15 days when we were out.
I deal with jacks small engines for parts, can't say enough good things about their service and prices.
