Will 5W-30 hurt my lawn mower?
In most cases with a lawn mower engine, you’ll be fine using SAE 30 vs 5w30.

The only difference between the two oils is the low temperature point, with the 5W-30 functioning slightly better than the 10W-30. Winter-grade oil stays thin even as temperatures drop, which means it will flow straight to the engine at startup.
