Default Two-cycle oil in four-cycle snowblower! Help ...

You're draining it out right? Then what could the problem be? It probably
wouldn't have made any difference anyway. Just refill with what you'd
rather use and go.

I have a Craftsman Snow Thrower (247.88190) and I have an unfortunate
problem. My son put replaced the oil with oil for my leaf blower. He
put four 3.2 ounce bottles of Craftsman Professional Synthetic Blend 2-
Cycle Engine Oil w/ fuel stabilizer (#71-36560) instead of the correct
4-cycle oil I normally use. Luckily he didn't mix it with gas and he
didn't start it up (as he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't show up
on the dip stick!). So at present I've got the blower propped up a bit
and I'm draining that oil out. I'm going to let it drain all night.
But are there any other precautions I should take before filling it up
with the correct oil? The amount he added (12-13 oz) just barely
showed up on the dip stick. Any advice would be much appreciated as I
really like this blower and want to nurse it back to machine health as
smoothly as possible. Thanks in advance.
