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

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.
