Default Re: oil

My 1980's snow-blower manual says 5w-30 below 32 degrees. But since we're not driving snow-blowers on highways and interstates, and that I live only a two-hour drive south of Canada, I choose to use 10w-30 in my 59AB that has 35,000 on its rebuild. Gauge reads 70 lbs cold and 15-20 lbs hot. I currently have no filter on it, change the oil every 1000 miles, drive it at least an hour each run, and don't need to add oil between changes. So I'm good for now.
