What you use for crankcase oil in your 4 cycle (Gilson) snowblower has become a complicated question. Most engines are permanently marked with a suggested oil for winter use. That recommendation has changed over time and oil technology has also advanced. Many older engines suggested SAE 10W oil for winter use. Along the way it became SAE 5-20. I'm sure there have been other variations as well. Either one of these oils will do a fine job in moderate winter temperatures.

Engine oil protects the engine from wear and tear, prevents corrosion and also prevents deposits of foreign materials from forming blocks. It cools the engine and maximizes performance and protects the engine from rust.

We use oil absorbent ground tarps, oversized oil drip containers and a unique customer vehicle to Anyotherday van pumping system which eliminates the possibility of spillage.

There are many ways to use coconut oil and incorporate it into one’s diet. Since it is a stable cooking oil, one can simply replace unhealthy oils in their diet with coconut oil. Since it is a solid most of the time at room temperature or when refrigerated, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking. Any recipe calling for butter, margarine, or any other oil can be substituted for coconut oil. It is popularly mixed in with “smoothies.

For a four cycle engine in summer you should use a Straight #30 grade oil. In winter either a 0W30 or 5W30. Most Japanese engines use a 10W30 year-round. A two cycle engine you should use a high quality 2-Cycle mix-oil. When in doubt, check in the owner's manual.

Crane Cams does not recommend the use of synthetic oils during the initial break-in period for a new camshaft. Use a good quality grade of naturally formulated motor oil during this period. If you choose to use synthetic oil after the engine has been broken in, change the oil filter and follow the oil manufacturer's instructions.

No, Crane Cams does not recommend the use of oil restrictors. The oil is the life blood of the engine, not only lubricating but cooling the engine components as well. For example, a valve spring builds in temperature as it compresses and relaxes. This increase of temperature affects the characteristics of the spring material, and if excessive, will shorten the life of the spring. Oil is the only means the spring has for cooling.

Yes, there is no harm in using a Synthetic blend or a full synthetic oil. There are many benifits to using a synthetic engine oil, such as ease of starting, lower operating temperature, and reduced component wear. For more information, visit the Mobil 1 site

Use what the engine manufacturer recommends. Be aware that Kawasaki ® still recommends straight 30-weight oil in their engines, and Kohler Command™ engines require multiweight 10W-30 oil. The man who hired me here at Exmark, over 15 years ago, always said "the cheapest thing you will ever put in that engine is oil.

Choice of oil depends on a number of factors. Type of engine, gasoline or diesel, and if turbocharged. Also the type of service eg heavy work or just normal city or country driving. The ambient temperature must also be considered. For Thailand and neighbouring countries this is normally warm to hot. For Thailand higher viscosity mono and multigrade oils are most popular eg. SAE 40, SAE 15W-40 and SAE 20W-50. • For high performance gasoline engines, fully and semi synthetic oils are best.

No, synthetic oils have shown no advantages when used and in some cases have actually harmed engines used in boating applications.

On February 7, 1995, a Chrysler engineer said 5W30 was best for 2.0, 2.2, and 2.5 liter non-turbo engines, for winter or year-round in climates such as that of New Jersey. All dealers I surveyed incorrectly recommended and used 10W30! The benefits of 5W30 or synthetics seem greatest in cold weather when oil is most viscous (before the engine warms). Use Energy Conserving II and SH grades where possible. For my car, recommended oil changes are at 6 months / 7,500 miles.

About 4 liters. A good rule of thumb is that you need to fill the engine oil until the oil pours out when the top pepcock is open. If the oil does not pour out, then add more oil.
