This was a question my auto shop teacher asked my class back in 76, just what does the HD mean on a can (at that time, before bottles of oil) of oil.
Got many different possible answers, Heavy Duty, High Detergent, etc.
The correct answer is, absolutely nothing, or whatever the oil manufacturer wants it to mean.
any modern 30 weight oil will work fine in your lawnmower.
