SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers. It appears that you're referring to an oil weight rating - in this case, 30 weight, although it'll usually be followed by the viscosity rating (e.g., 15W-40, 10W-30, 85W-140, etc. 30W tends to be recommended for small engines, such as lawnmowers.

What does the w mean in motor oil?

The 'W' stands for WINTER. It does not stand for weight. What would the oil be weighing? 12oz of 10w-30 weighs the same as 12oz of 5w-20. It is related to the cold temperature viscosity of the product. A multi-viscosity oil, 5W-20 for example, will perform like an SAE 5 product when cold and a SAE 20 product when hot. And as a bit of additional info, oils are not 'weighted' they are graded. SAE grades the oil.. SAE 5, 20, 30..
