Wife stopped at O'Reilly to look for me and they have SAE30 and 20W50. Site shows 10W30, but they don't carry it. Amazon has it for $34.77 for 6 quarts.

10W30 and SAE 30 are not the same, but you should be fine running the SAE 30.




They are exactly the same, a 30 grade oil. The difference is as ambient temp drops, the 10w30 will act like a 10 grade oil. As the oil temp goes up, the 10w30 will GAIN viscosity.


There is no reason to ever use a single grade engine oil. Ever.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
