LOL!
I inherited the snow blower about 5 years ago & I never changed the oil,I just did the basic lube and maintenance.....I think that I should @ least change the oil

Tecumseh calls for 5w30. They even warn against using 10w40, so would avoid all 10 weights.... One school of thought says using a synthetic is easier on the engine when starting in the cold. But I don't even use that stuff in my vehicles, so in went the new 5w30 today with some fresh fuel. Hit the electric start and motored it into place in the garage.

I only use synthetics in my diesel, but would agree that 5w30 is in mt Arian's Tecumseh.
