    Changed oil in my simplicity 7 22 snow blower.

    briggs, kohler, tecumseh have all off and on over time specced 5w-20. I have a powerpuilt snow 8hp powering a 27'blower, so it gets worked hard. I have M1 truck & suv 0w20 for it and the bolens qt17. The M1 5w20 will work just fine, a 0w20 would have been a better choise for starting. -harvey
