Does anyone "exercise" their oil burner? No not Exorcise, I did that when installed the EKO !! My Generac exercises once a week to keep its parts lubed and ready to go when needed.

Mine runs a few times each spring and fall. No problems so far, but it would probably be good to run it up to temp once a month and run the circ a few minutes once a week. I'm switching to propane backup because of the issues with oil getting stale and so on.
