What do you think will happen when you ignore the manufactures recommendations and use a weight of oil they do not recommend? You will have premature internal engine wear. It may take time but you are causing wear. Use exactly what the manufacture recommends.

Does it matter what oil goes into a lawnmower?

The weight is important. Some call for straight 30 , other call for a multiviscosity ie: 10w30. If it is a standard push mower it is probably straight 30. If it is a rider with a oil filter it probably needs 10w30. If you are unsure, reask question with type and size of mower.
