    You forgot the model #. Most hardware stores have a plug book.

    30W non-detergent oil is recommended for most small engines. Sears has a specific blend for Snowthowers.

    Most manufacturers have their own oil. I would suggest using the oem make of oil, if you have a briggs, use briggs oil...

    Use 30 wt oil. The best thing to do for the spark plug is take the old one out and bring that to the store with you and match it. Or you can give the store the model and serial number of your snow blower and they can look up the correct one you should have.
