(5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold
weather, these multi-
viscosity oils also result
in higher oil consump-
tion when used above
32ºF. Check your snow
thrower’s engine oil
level more frequently to
avoid possible engine
damage from running
low on oil.

ponents, as a result of
doing so, will NOT be
