A food truck may drive 20 miles to an event and run its generator for ten hours. Log generator hours separately and service by those.
Keep shop fluids away from the kitchen
Store oil, grease, and fuel outside the food-prep area and follow your health department’s rules. Food-grade grease is available for kitchen equipment the maker says may use it.
Products by equipment.
Confirm the lubricant type, grade, and specifications in each equipment manual before ordering.
Onboard generators
Generators run for hours at every event. Change oil by the engine maker’s hour interval, not the truck’s mileage, and keep air filters clean.
