I finally got the BX2230 out today and pulled the snow blower. But before it came off I run it a little to warm the gearbox oil before I drained and refilled it. No sign of moisture in the oil and just a small "scum" of silver? on the oil. I don't know what you guys use, but I use Marine lower unit grease, the same as I use in my 3 outboards. It's GL5 rated and friendly to all metals.
I built a dolly and store it auger down. If you ever store yours that way and the breather nut weeps oil, just get another plug screw (all 3 are the same thread) and install that for the summer.
Put the breather nut in a baggie and wire tie it to the blower where you can't miss it so you can switch them next fall.
