I can't imagine that would make much difference. The different weights of oil affect the durability of the oil in the long term and its performance in high or low temperatures. hi just to let everyone know i went ahead and used the 10w40 oil instead of the 10w30 that is suggested in the ryobi petrol lawnmower manual and it worked perfectly i have a 140cc 4stroke petrol lawnmower model no RLM140SP thanks steed69
Yes 10w30 is a good oil for snowblower or lawnmower.
SAE 10w30 Full Synthetic any major brand.
straight 30 or a 10w30
SAE 10w30 weight synthetic oil.
10W30 can be used, but SAE30 is best. 10W30 can run a bit hot, in warmer climates.
NO, not in any lawnmower made in the last 40 years. Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W30 detergent oil.
you can use 10w30 or an sae 30 weight you'll find it in every hardware store this time of year
Most manufactures recommend SAE 10W30 or 30W. I recommend you use 10W30 Synthetic in any air cooled small engine.
SAE 10w30 Full Synthetic.
SAE 10w30 any major brand.
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.
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.
