Yes 10w30 is a good oil for snowblower or lawnmower.
No ( according to the owners manual that came with my Ariens lawnmower ( with a Kohler engine ) SAE 30 if above 40* Fahrenheit SAE 10W-30 if below 40* Fahrenheit
As a snowblower is used in the winter use 10w30 weight synthetic oil and change the oil once each year.
SAE 10w30
one quart. Use the oil dipstick!!
My book for my John Deere snowblower , which has a 5 horsepower Tecumseh engine , shows to use the Champion RJ17LM spark plug
NO! It is too heavy an oil for the conditions the snowblower will operate under. Use 5w30 and do not use 5w40 unless you want to damage the engine.
I wouldn't recomend it.
Yes, you need to change the oil in a Murray snowblower every 25 hours and before storage. It is also necessary to check the oil every 5 hours of use.
10w30 synthetic for year round use, and 30w for only summer use.
No, it is not okay to use an oil not recommended by Honda. You use the snowblower in cold temperatures that is why Honda recommends a 5 weight oil. There's no reason whatsoever to use 10W-30 weight oil. Use 5W-30 as Honda recommends and nothing else. I also recommend you use a 100% synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.
You can use straight 30 weight oil or 10w30. I recommend synthetic for an air cooled engine.
