Amsoil SSO 0-30 for blower

[Fbear]

I have an extra quart of Amsoil SSO 5-30 and I was thinking about putting it in my snow blower it is a two year old Simplicaty with a Briggs on board. Is this stuff ok to run in a blower?

just put Amsoil 0W30 in my B&S 6.75. Primed the engine by pulling the cord slowly a few times and it fired up on the first pull out of the box. It was cool this morning too. I hope this stuff works well.

Yes

Been using Mobil-1 0W-30 in my snow blower for several years now; GC before that.
No problems at all.

It should work just fine. I run Mobile 1 5W30 synthetic in my 3 year old Briggs powered Simplicity. I don't know if it's the synthetic oil or the Kool Bore engine but it does use some oil. I suggest you check it every time before use.

I used Mobil 1 0w30 in my 10HP Tecumseh this year. No oil problems, but this winter was an oddball winter without much snow this far north (12 hours, tops).

(Yeah, you mid-Atlantic guys, I'm rubbing it in... he he he)

IMO, the SSO would be as good or better.

Solid advice, as usual, boraticus.
