SAE 30W detergent oil is a single-grade motor oil with a viscosity rating of 30, suitable for use in warmer temperatures. The "detergent" designation indicates that the oil contains additives that help keep engine components clean by preventing the formation of sludge and deposits. An API service classification of SF or higher means the oil meets or exceeds the standards set by the American Petroleum Institute for performance in gasoline engines, ensuring it provides adequate protection and efficiency for a range of engine conditions.

Briggs engine 30w detergent, kohler engine 10w-30
Some website says 30w non-detergent?
30 weight non-detergent oil is what was used in the 20s. But you can and should use SAE 30 High Detergent oil today as it will provide many benefits. If you have been using non-detergent oil then there is more than likely a sludge buildup in the engine at this time. You should not switch to High Detergent oil unless the engine has been rebuilt and totally cleaned. The reason is that the HD oil will loosen all this sludge and contaminate your crankcase. So, if you know the engine is clean then use SAE 30W otherwise use 30W non-detergent oil.
Commonly 30W of SG or higher rating

Generally 30W of SF or higher rating

HD makes a weight of oil they call "Sport-Trans" that is made for use in the Sportster primary. Or, you can use any 30W non-detergent oil.
30w, 10-30w or 10-40w
The GCF of 30w and 75w is 15w.
