And I need to check the oil level every 24 hours of operation just in case.
I made sure to have multiple sets of maintenance consumables so I can run for about a month continuously without outside assistance - other than the natural gas still flowing or getting propane tank refills if I am forced to switch to propane.

Hope this is helpful info.
