How do you know if your snowblower uses 2 cycle or 4 cycle oil?

If your engine does not have an oil reservoir where you need to add and change regularly, and it does not have a dipstick to check for proper oil level, it is very likely to be a 2 cycle engine.
You will need to mix Fuel and 2 cycle engine oil. The engine internals gets lubricated thru the fuel / oil mix. If you do not know the proper mix ratio, you can start with a 40:1. My lawn equipment service company even
recommends this mix when you have 50:1. It just gives the engine better
lubrication with a negligible difference in performance.

That would depend on whether the engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke (aka 2-cycle & 4-cycle). If the engine does not have an oil filler tube, it is a 2-stroke and oil must be added to the fuel. If it has an oil filler tube, it is a 4-stroke and oil is added through the filler tube.
Is a pro-mix 4-cycle premium engine oil fine for my snowblower which you do not mix oil and gas...I can't tell if its just the brand name or if I do have to mix it?
No it is 4 cycle oil, 2 cycles is the only oil you mix with gas for 2 cycle engines. They may be referring to a syn/ conventional oil mix that they have preformed to improve their oil. It will work fine in your 4 cycle engine as long as it is the correct weight for your engine. As long as it is like 10w30 you should be good to go.
