Bought a new Craftsman SnowBlower in NOV 2011 prior to Thanksgiving
Owners manual was written 5/11/2011.
26" 2 stage blower w/208cc LCT motor
0 to 60 deg F...5W30 motor oil...-40 to 60 deg F...0W30 synthetic.
In the section about maintaining the oil level and oil changes it states that SG,SF oil is recomended. WHAT!...I don't even have any SG,SF hanging around in the garage!
After I cleaned the driveway yesterday and the engine was nice and ))HOT(( I change the oil as the OM calls for the 1st OCI @ 5 hrs. We haven't had much snow this winter and I have now used the blower ~5+ hrs.
I used VWB 5W30 SN/GF-5...Is this OK?
