Toro snow blowers gas oil mixture

If you have just bought a snow blower, then you might be wondering if the engine runs on regular gasoline or a mixture of gas and oil. Whether your snow blower requires gasoline or a gas and oil mixture depends on the type of engine. For instance, you pour a mixture of fuel and oil into the gas tank of a two-stroke 2-cycle engine. This provides fuel for internal combustion and a small amount of oil for lubrication. In contrast, a four-stroke 4-cycle engine has separate tanks for gasoline and oil. The quickest way to recognize the difference between these two engine types is to look for an oil dipstick sticking out of a crankcase. If an oil dipstick is present, then it is a four-cycle engine. At the present time, probably all the newer snow blowers have 4-cycle engines, owing to the better fuel efficiency and cleaner exhaust fumes of four-stroke engines.
