Changing The Oil In Your Snow Blower. Your snow blower, like any other small engine machine, needs to be maintained regularly in order to continue functioning well. Changing the oil in your snow blower is a part of the maintenance scheme that you should make sure and pay attention to. There is a proper way to do this and we advise that you pay careful attention to the way you need to do this. First, you need to gather your tools. You’ll need these: – A wrench – A funnel – An oil drain pan – New oil …and here’s what you need to do: Use the dipstick to check the level of the oil and if the oil is in running range, warm it up by starting your snowblower. (When you do this, you will help to drain the oil and the excess debris to drain. Turn the engine off once the oil has warmed up.. Get an oil drain pan and put it under your snow blower’s oil drain plug.. After you remove the oil drain plug, let the oil drain out into the pan. Tilt the snow blower a bit to ensure that all the oil drains out. You should also take the dipstick out of there, so that the oil drains out even easier.. Put the drain plug back in when it’s finished draining, tighten it and make sure there aren’t any leaks.. Pour the new oil into the engine by pouring it through a funnel into the fill tube. Make sure that the amount and the grade of oil that you use, is acceptable in the owner’s manual.. Double check the oil level to make sure that the range it’s running in is safe and if there are any drips or oil leaks by the drain plug or anywhere else in the engine.. After you’ve used the snow blower, check for fluid leaks once again and check for it your oil is low..
