Whoops been draining the oil from where the dipstick is. 😅 I use full synthetic Castrol Edge and measure out 20 ounces. When the blower is on a flat surface, the new oil should just reach the last thread of where the dip stick goes in. Says it in the manual.

@Robsbrd993 жыл бұрын
I don't really worry about the dipstick when changing. I pour 20 oz slowly with the machine titled slightly fwd. The oil level comes right up the dipstick tube and doesn't overflow when dropped to the operating position. That's how I know it's full and not overfilled.

What do you all do for the non-winter months with the gas tank? Do you drain the gas out of the tank for the months not in use? OR, do you put in that fuel stabilizer into the gas tank with the gas for the off-season? Just curious.
@roachbrotherslawncare29363 жыл бұрын
I personally do not like the idea of draining the fuel. We use Stabil for the winter. And I have my helpers run the snow blowers once per month for 5 minutes. We’ve been doing that for over five years with two out of the three we have and have never had one problem.

Hello; I'm not sure, but I had thought you should measure the oil level when the machine is horizontal, not stood up on end . . . Can I ask - do you use the genuine toro paddles and scraper when you replace (is it worth it?), or do you use the less expensive generic type? Thanks!
