Lubrication, chains, sprays and belt dressings

Many questions here about a new Ariens 8526 snowblower bundled into one posting: 1) Any adverse effect of using a spray belt dressing on the auger belt? Squeals a bit while engaging. 2) Changing oil from dino to synthetic. Have done the two hour break in with the oil it came with. Do I need to change the synthetic oil again shortly after putting it in to insure it's all synthetic, or does that not matter? Also, what grade to use in a machine stored in an unheated Boston shed? 3) Tires, I'm told, are supposed to really aggressive in snow. I found them to slip and attract a layer of snow. Would tire chains help? 4) Lastly, what spray is good to prevent chutes from collecting slush and snow? Heard Pam works - never tried.
