Yep, read your owner's manual. And use Castrol.

The lower the Numbers the smaller places it can go, for simplicity.

Did an oil change on my 10,000 watt generator, requires 10w30. Went to a local auto parts store.....

charged $10 for a quart of Mobil 1. You can bet I won't be going back there again.
