what about the fancy oil they say to use in blowers?
As Kevin points out, it usually refers to the Synthetic lubricants such as Pneulube and Aeon PD.
The advantage to these synthetics is longer service (changeout) intervals. If you value the labor cost to change the oil in the blower, then the synthetics will reasonably cut your overall maintenance costs, even after factoring in the cost of the synthetic oil.
