I have a Toro Snow Master 20 snowerblower that you mix the oil & gas when you put it in the tank. Do I use 2-cycle oil?

Yes, use 2 cycle oil. Make sure you mix it to the right ratio.
I have a Toro Snow Master 20 snowblower. I will use 2 cycle oil in it; but can you tell me the ratio of gas to oil I should use, please?
Hi,
Quality name-brand oils are always recommended and the ratio will depend on the particular blend. Most are blended for 40:1 or 50:1, though there may still be a few 32:1 blends out there. Nowadays they are usually sold in bottles that contain enough oil for a certain amount of gas, e.g. 1 gallon, 2 1/2 gallons, etc.
Simply pick the name brand you want i.e. Toro (which ic Lawn-Boy), Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, etc. and the package size appropriate for you fuel container.
Peace,

Hi! Sharimiller, welcome to AMHD :)
2-cycle engines built before 1990 used a 32:1 ratio, after 1990 it went to 50:1.
Have you looked at the fuel tank cap?
After a certain year the manufacturer's molded the ratio #'s into the cap, there may also be a decal on your unit that will state the ratio.
This will tell you where to look, click on Snowthrower at bottom left: Toro Locate Model and Serial Number
If the ratio is not on the label, write down the Model, and Serial #'s, and go here to download a manual from the Toro site :
Toro Product Information Center
This shows how to mix a 50:1 ratio:

What ratio of oil to gas do I use in a Toro Snow Master 20 snow blower?
Look here for Toro parts and owners manuals:
Toro - Lawn Mowers, Golf & Grounds Equipment, Commercial Landscape, Irrigation
Those old SnowMaster 20's use a 32:1 ratio. Use whatever oil they have at the hardware store. It'll run forever... It already has. I have one. It will eat whatever crap you pour into it and say "thank you".
Remember... I AM talking about 2 cycle oil. It just needs to be any 2 cycle oil. The junk I use is for boat motors.
