LC or FP for snowblower?

I would not mix either in 2-cycle oil. The only thing I would mix with the 2-cycle might be a little sta-bil to stabilize the fuel.
I use a dash of FP-60 in 2-stroke fuel, along with the manufacturer recommended additive. The low and high quality 2-stroke engines I own do fine on it. Fuel is good for at least a year.
I use FP in both 2 and 4 cycle blowers but not as a replacement for the 2cycle oil.
Yes a dose of FP in the premixed fuel is fine. Forget the LC and no FP cannot replace 2-stroke oil.
Just a side note-- with the ethanol in the fuel, I've heard of problems with boats and lawn equipment--even when using a stabilizer. Best to mix only what you need at a time. Have also heard, though not confirmed, that moving the equipment or shaking the fuel can can help alleviate the problem.
I have been using FP60 in my 4 stroke lawnmower and snowblower and my small 2 stroke snow blower for several years.
I do NOT use it as a replacement for the mix oil in the 2-stroke engine's gas / oil mix.
I use it instead of a fuel stabilizer.
I have felt that I got very good results with it in the "oxygenated" 10% ethanol gasoline that we have in my area.
A container of the Gasoline / oil mix for a 2-cycle engine should always be "shaken" before pouring to stir it up.

I have been using FP in a 2 two stroke very efficient 1982 Toro snowblower for several years. I am still trying to use up the 3 year old premix gallon of fuel, which has a healthy dose of FP. No operational difficulties, and it's been a challenging winter for the little beast.
I use a healthy dose of FP in the 4 cycle Toro lawnmower too. I routinely use gas left over from the last season. 3 years on the Redline oil fill. Still clean.
