Most air cooled engines, such as the one you have, use 30 wieght oil. You can use 10W-30 but you will have to add oil more often because multigrade oils are not designed for the higher operating temparatures of air cooled engines. Consequently, they vaporize, which means you have to keep adding more.

Straight HD-30 above 40 degrees Fahrenheit…
5w-30 or 10w-30 below.
OR 10w-30 or 5w-30 synthetic all year round…
Change it every 25 hours of engine operation, check it often.
