Most lawnmowers are different. My Honda uses 10W40 detergent. Check your owners manual under maintenance. If you don't have a manual go online to the engine manufacturer and see what you can find. 30 non-detergent is used in many engines.

Can you use 10W30 on a toro lawnmower?

Yes you can but if you are using a 10W30 oil be sure it is synthetic or buy a straight grade SAE 30 Weight Oil. Why? A standard oil (non synthetic) 10W30 oil has too many VI improvers.. additives that will break down in an application such as a lawnmower and cause the oil to no longer be a 30 weight oil. It will quickly become a 20 Weight SAE oil that will no longer protect the engine. A synthetic 10W30 Small Engine oil does not have any of these VI improvers to break down and cause the oil to lose it's viscosity rating. Basically.. do not use a standard 10W30 Car oil for your lawnmower.
