Is motor oil that is noted to be 4V the same as 4 cycle motor oil that is used in snowblowers?

I was told to get 4 cycle motor oil for a snowblower I just bought. The only oil I could find was 4V and the store selling it said thats the same as 4 cycle oil. Is that correct?Is motor oil that is noted to be 4V the same as 4 cycle motor oil that is used in snowblowers?
are you talking about mixing the gas if its a 2 cycle you have to mix if its 4 cycle you don'tIs motor oil that is noted to be 4V the same as 4 cycle motor oil that is used in snowblowers?
buy a qt of sae 30 wt oil it will work better than 2 cycle oil,
I couldn't find any reference to a 4v designation for motor oil. If your engine is a 4 cycle such as a Briggs and Stratton, the recommended oil is an API class oil with SF-SJ designations. The vescosity should be SAE 5W30 below 32 degrees and SAE 30 above 32 degrees.


Don't put anything else in it. The container will clearly display the above ratings.
What you probably mean is 2 cycle. For these you mix the oil with the gasoline. and you want the stuff that says 2V or 2 Cycle. Some 4 cycle or 4 stroke engines do get oil added to the gas but this is not very common.


If you need to mix oil with gas you need 2 cycle or 2 stroke oil which are the same.


The snowblower should have the mix ratio marked on it.


Edit: Hey, sorry dude. Never actually seen any marked 4V. Have seen 2V. What brand is it. I would research it for you.


And for those who have not seen it, ( most folks because it is not common ) there are 4 stroke engines that recommend gas/oil mixes
