The user's guide to my 130 series B&S engine (garden cultivator) says: 10W-40 can be used if 10W-30 is not available at your location. So, if you fit to the 10W-30 oil temperature interval then 10W-40 can be used. On the other hand lawnmower is usually used at spring-summer temperatures so why not to use SAE30 oil?
