Assuming the genset was running under load, how often would the oil
filter need to be changed?  Are there any other issues that would need
to be addressed in a sustained power outage?  As far as genset
maintenance that is.

diesels need frequent oil filter changes because they load the oil up
with soot. the oil itself can last a long time.
