If the recommended oil is SAE30 why would you use SAE 10W30? Some mowers recommend either of these weights but if your recommends 30W then using 10W30 will cause it to use oil.

Can you use 10w30 sae 30 oil engine?

I am not sure what you are wanting to use the oil for. If it is for a lawn mower, most of them take either 10w30 or SAE 30. They are not the same oil. You will need to refer to your engine manufacturer for the oil required for your engine. Normally most Briggs and Stratton and Tecumseh engines use the SAE30 oil. While most Kohler engines use 10w30.
