What Types of Oil Does an Ariens Snowblower Take?

By Staff WriterLast Updated April 15, 2020

The oil required for Ariens snowblowers depends on the type of engine used in the machine. For modern equipment, Ariens recommends using 5W30 engine oil in products with four-cycle gasoline engines and two-cycle oil mixed in the gasoline at a ratio of 50:1 in products with two-cycle engines.

Older machines have different recommendations for lubrication, so owners should consult the appropriate product manual. If the documentation for a product is missing, Airens maintains a database of product manuals at its website, Ariens.com, that is searchable by model and serial number.
