What oil for lawn mower ?

That time of year again And I was thinking of changing the oil in my lawn mower. Just wondering if I have to use the specific oil in these things or if I can get away with using a 5w30 or 10w30 As I have plenty of the stuff lying around. Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )
