i use Mobile 1 full synthetic only in everything , but anything will work , if you look in the user manual , 10 w 30 is for cooler weather , and 10w 40 /10w 50 is for hotter weather , use a good synthetic oil , i wouldnt use dollar store oil ...xct2

I use 30 weight oil in my Robin Subaru EH035
I have over 3000 miles on it.

I read the manual and talked to several oil experts.
Manual says;
If multi-grade oil is employed, oil consumption tends to
increase when the ambient temperature is high.

30 weight is good for 50' to over 90' which is higher than 10W-30

These small 4 stroke motors that have no oil filtration work best on
single weight oils in warm climates like CA.

You would only need a multi weight oil if you are running it in extreme
cold to hot conditions. I don't ride in those conditions LOL

I have just converted my two 4 stroke motors to Opti-4 30 weight.
2nd motor is a Honda GXH 50 that had maybe 1000 miles on it.
Only put very few miles on the R/S since changing to Opti-4
so i can't comment yet.

My 50 cc Huasheng 4 stroke will be getting Opti-4 from mile one
and will be broken in to Opti's recommendations.

Hi everyone. I bought some Briggs and Stratton small engine oil from Walmart, it says specially formulated for 4-cycle air-cooled engines, SAE 30, use between 40 and 100 degrees F+. I haven't used it yet. I imagine it's good. Now I have mobile synthetic 10w-30 in a robin subaru EHO-35 friction drive last used in 2009. That runs good.
