Picked up a Ryobi 4 cycle leaf blower today-- mostly for the nerd factor of having a 4 cycle leaf blower. The massive 65ml bottle included was a same-brand 20W50 and it's the weight recommended, but they also state anything from SAE30 to 10W40 can be used. There are a lot of in-consistencies and contradicting information in the users manual, it has everything from incorrect oil-level checking procedures to stating that ''using non detergent or 4cycle engine oil will damage the engine''... Hopefully Ryobi will clarify for me tomorrow. Until then, the wide spec'd range for weight has me thrown, I assume 20W50 is best, but I haven't seen that in anything except racing oil-- the only other thing I can think of is maybe motor cycle oil?
suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
