Is 30W oil non detergent?
Non detergent SAE 30 oil has very specific applications in both industrial and automotive applications but are most often used in industrial compressors that cannot function with oils that contain various detergent additives.
What is the equivalent of SAE 30 oil?
ISO 100

Can I use non-detergent oil in my lawn mower?
Non-detergent motor oil is commonly used in lawnmower engines because mower engines are not used daily like passenger vehicles; the engines are not as large as in passenger vehicles; and do not contain multiple cylinders and as many components as passenger vehicles.
Is Briggs and Stratton SAE 30 oil non-detergent?
Our oil products have been approved by Briggs & Stratton engineers, recommended in all operator manuals, and is a high-quality detergent oil classified SJ/CD by the API. Check oil level regularly. Air-cooled engines burn about an ounce of oil per cylinder, per hour.
What is the difference between non-detergent oil and detergent oil?
Detergent additives are the one that differentiates between a detergent oil and a non-detergent oil. If the engine or motor oil contains detergent additives in it, it is called a detergent oil. If there are no detergent additives added, then the oil is called as non-detergent oil.
Is SAE 10W 30 oil the same as SAE 30?

Are all SAE 30 oils the same?
SAE30 weight oil is rated only at the full operating temp of the engine. This means it is much higher than 30 when cold. However it is important to note that the 30 is the same across all three oils, meaning that they will all be the same viscosity once the engine is at full operating temperature.
