    Can I use a Echo PowerBlend 2-stroke engine oil with Toro Snow Blower?
    My Toro snow blower needs a 2-cycle oil engine oil to be mixed with gasoline. As per their manual, "Use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel Stabilizer Added) or an equivalent high-grade, NMMA TCW 3-certified 2-cycle oil. To prevent engine damage, do not use automotive oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30) or fuel mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-oil ratio"

    I have a bottle of ECHO Premium Two-Stroke Engine Oil that I use for my Echo Leaf blower. As per the descrition "Echo Power Blend Two-Stroke Engine Oil is manufufactured specifically for Echo and meets and exceeds ISO-L-EGD- and JASO M345/FC standards."

    1. Is a 2-Stroke the same as 2-Cycle?
    2. Can I use the Echo 2-stroke engine oil with my Toro snow blower?
    3. Should I be paying attention to the certifications? Toro says use a "NMMA TCW 3-certified 2-cycle oil" while Echo oil "meets and exceeds ISO-L-EGD- and JASO M345/FC standards"?

    Please advise.

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You are referencing another name brand two cycle oil that will work for the first reason, and Echo will stand behind it when mixed per recommendations.
    Peace,
