Manny,
I am thinking that series blower still used the flat head Tecumseh snow king engines. Just like the flat head Mopars, you will find there is much debate on the "best" oil to use. I run 10w 30 in my old Ariens because that is what is recommended for it unless it is around 20 below.
I would not get too crazy with oil type or additives, I would run what the manufacturer recommends. And because it is a Tecumseh I check mine early and often.
Stay safe out there,
John
