The dealer gave me Ariens 5w30 instead of Honda brand for my HS928 Honda snowblower. Any reason to swap it out for the Honda oil or just as good? Thanks!
Honda Snowblower oil

It'll work perfectly fine.
I have that same blower for the past 12yrs, and have used whatever 5W30 oil I have around at the time.
Now, the Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid…I would stick with Honda fluid for that.

Any 5w30 will do.
Yup, this^^^, I have 3, an HS 6-24, an HSS-928, and an HSS-1332, 5-30 for all, but 10w-30 is fine also unless your starting under 15 degrees' Next time just use automotive oil.
Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid, yes, Honda fluid only. Buy some extra shear bolts as an insurance policy.
I would have run supertech 5w-30 but that's me.

Super tech went in my machine 99% of the time. Formula shell was another favorite flavorI would have run supertech 5w-30 but that's me.

I used to run formula shell when I had a B&J's membership ! The 6 quart pack of synthetic was right on par with Supertech for price!
