Instead, fill a five-gallon gas can with unleaded gasoline. This regular gasoline is suitable for lawn mowers, snowblowers, and other power tools with a four-stroke engine.
Always use two separate cans for mixing gasoline and oil. We recommend this because once you add engine oil to your gas canister, you can’t rinse it thoroughly.
Typically, two-cycle engines need a gas/oil mix of 40:1 or alternatively 50:1. Check which mixture to use by consulting the owner’s manual for your specific snowblower model. here
Suppose you don’t relish measuring your mixture ratios. Or smelling strongly of gasoline, buying pre-mixed fuel is the instant solution. All you need do is pour the pre-mix into the gas tank, and you’re good to go.
Mixing Ratio (Gas:Oil) [links]
Pour the 2-cycle oil to an empty gasoline can before adding one gallon of fresh gasoline into the can. No additional agitation is necessary. If the mixture may be stored for more than 30 days, include a fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before mixing to help increase its shelf life.
Refer to the chart before fueling to make sure you're using the correct 2-cycle fuel and oil mixture:
Two-cycle (or 2-stroke) engines require a mixture of fuel and oil be added to the fuel tank. This mixture results in both engine combustion and lubrication. Operating a 2-Stroke engine on gasoline alone will result in engine failure.
MTD two-cycle snow throwers use a 50:1 ratio of gasoline to 2-cycle oil, which is one gallon of gasoline to 2.5 oz of 2-cycle oil. here

Use a 40:1 two-cycle oil mix ratio. One gallon of gasoline combined with 3.2 oz of two-cycle engine oil.
Use a 32:1 gasoline to oil ratio. One gallon of gasoline combined with 4 oz of two-cycle engine oil. If you are in the state of California, use a 2-cycle oil mix ratio of 40:1.
