Snow Thrower engine oil

Hi,
I got a snowthrower with a Tecumseh snow king 4cycle engine 8hp.
Do I need to use snowthrower tecumseh 5w30 4cyle oil or a 5w30 4 cycle standard engine oil will do the job?
What is the difference between a snowthrower engine oil and a standard engine oil?
Thanks!
Vincent

Thanks for your reply!AMSOIL 0W-30 Series 2000 Synthetic Motor Oil or AMSOIL Formula 4-StrokeŽ 10W-30/SAE 30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil? my snowthrower will be stored in a garage heated between 10-15°c, but outside will be expose to 0°c to -30°c Whats the best synthetic oil to choose? synthetic runs great but I think it's really for the racing cars. It's 4X costly than regular oil. For regular and daily use machine , normal5W-30 is good enough. Make sure it has "SAE" printed on the bottle to ensure the quality.

I finally bought Canadian Tire Motomaster formula 1 100% snythetic 5w30 oil 4.59$ in special, not too much expensive! and it take half bottle! I will flush my old standard used oil, then add the new syn. oil, start engine, then flush again to remove all contaminents, then refill with syn. I also changed the spark plug the one that was on it was probably the original!, full of dirt and rust. |
