The type of oil your Ariens Compact 22 snowblower takes depends on the engine model it has. However, most Ariens Compact 22 snowblowers use a SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 engine oil.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when choosing oil for your Ariens Compact 22 snowblower:

API service rating: Choose an oil with an API service rating of SN or higher.

Synthetic vs. conventional oil: Synthetic oil is more expensive than conventional oil, but it provides better lubrication and protection in extreme temperatures. If you live in a cold climate, synthetic oil is a good choice.

Oil capacity: The oil capacity of your Ariens Compact 22 snowblower will vary depending on the engine model. Consult your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity.

Here are some specific oil recommendations for Ariens Compact 22 snowblowers with different engine models:

Briggs & Stratton engines: SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oil with API service rating SN or higher.

LCT engines: SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oil with API service rating SN or higher.

Tecumseh engines: SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oil with API service rating SN or higher.

It is always best to consult your owner's manual for the specific oil recommendations for your Ariens Compact 22 snowblower. You can also find oil recommendations on the Ariens website.
