Yup, then run them on a steep hill low on oil and wonder why the engine tosses a rod.
In my 14 years of working on small engines I've only seen 3 blown up Tecumseh snow kings. 2 came in with next to zero oil in them, and the other one the guy cranked the governor wide open because he thought that would make it throw snow further.
I run whatever SN 5w30 I can get on sale in my snowblowers and customer machines. Usually Supertech, Napa, Pennzoil, etc.
