Lawn mower oil in snowblower engine what a mess
Original Message Feb 23, 2005 12:54 pm

This is a funny story about someone in the family, I wont mention his name but one day he went to walmart's to get some oil, he took the lawnmower oil bottle, with the sticker it show's power ourdoor equipment pic, so the funny thing that day with the temp outside -22 he started to crank the damm thing and he broke the rope on the first start oil got almost like wax

we took the snowblower in my garage for full day to warm up the thing and empty It

I think now he know's about oil better.

May be time to switch to full-synthetic oil...

Lesson - Don't put straight 30 weight oil in your snowblower.
