The Eliet manual says SAE 20W50 API SF / CC. The Briggs and Stratton manual delivered with the Eliet manual has the usual graph in it for oil selection; SAE 30 above 7 degrees C to 40 degrees C. 10W30 below 4 degrees C for easier starting below 4 degrees but higher oil consumption in the summer. I think I used 20W50 last time I changed mine.

I only ever put SAE30 in Briggs engines. They will burn oil if using multigrade in our UK climate.

Fully agree, SAE30 should be fine. Will only be an issue if it gets very cold, and Hopefully that's not going to happen now.
