    This was extremely helpful! Thank you! For years nobody properly explained HOW to change and measure the oil in toro snowblowers! I was measuring it standing up,which is clearly wrong! The instructions were useless! The seller useless! This video finally revealed how much oil to add and how to measure it.thank you so much!!!! Great useful video at least for me.

    At the end of this season, I think I'll be shopping for a Toro single-stage. They seem to be about as good as anything else available, all things considered.

    Very good video! I have the same model and I learned today that there is a second oil drain plug in the front of the engine identical to the plug near the drain plug. Mine had loosened up over time and was leaking. Thought I would share in case you did not know about it.

    The Toro dealer said to never over fill the oil. You are only supposed to use 20 ounces. You don’t screw in the dip stick to check the oil, the oil should never be all the way to the top of the threads.

    After you get the gas out, run true fuel for a few minutes, no need to drain the bowl, true fuel has no ethanol, that's what kills our small motors.

    • @amidwestfamily112
      @amidwestfamily112  2 роки тому +2

      I am going to assume you are talking about the sparkplug boot that goes over the sparkplug. You just pull it straight off, it's on there good so you will need to give it a decent tug. Thanks for watching!

    Cannot get the oil drain plug off is it lefty loose?? Also the spark plug off don't know the size. Won't start ran out gas but didn't drain the carb bowl

    • @amidwestfamily112
      @amidwestfamily112  2 роки тому

      Yes turning the drain bolt to the left (counterclockwise) will loosen the drain bolt. I'm not sure what the other question is. But if you run the machine out of gas it isn't necessary to drain the carburetor bowl, but I feel like it is the best way to make sure all the gas is out of the machine. Hopefully that answers a few of your questions. Thanks for watching!

    Mine started knocking is it 2 late for Oil change or will the oil change help? it's 4 years old and I didn't change the oil. (it's my first snow blower)

    • @amidwestfamily112
      @amidwestfamily112  2 роки тому +1

      I would change the oil in it first, since that is cheaper then a new unit. It might help prolong the life, but it could be past the point of no return. Good luck!

    Do you check the oil on that position (with the snow blower on it's "head") or with the snow blower down on its normal position?

      Check it when it is down in the normal position.
