At least you know your putting in the best you can get.

SJ is deprecated. A few of the powersports (ATV, snowmobile, etc) oils carry it. You should be able to run a newer SAE 30 without any issues.
I think that price for the Briggs oil is for a 48 oz (1.5 qt) bottle.
Rotella T1 straight 30 is API CF. I would use with confidence if going straight 30 weight.
I just put Amsoil ASE in three of my mowers this past weekend. Paid 8.50 qt from my local Amsoil distributor. Only took 4 qts to do two tractors and one push mower and I have 3 oz left over. I figure this is once a year so for me so worth the extra cost for a premium oil.

Just use Rotella 30 wt. It used to carry SJ but it was taken off the bottle as SJ is no longer supported. Use it all the time in my Briggs.

I run Amsoil ACD because it really is a 30wt that flows like a 10.
I am currently using M1 5W30 or 10W30 High Mileage oil in all of my OPE, as it is still SL rated, with a full complement of antiwear additives and detergents. Non of my OPE burns any of this oil in a one year OCI.

Does this imply that ASE is not? (I am asking as I do not know) I had considered the ACD due to the higher TBN but figured I would get the oil indicated for the specific application. If ACD is superior for small engines I may try it next oil change.

Accel ND30 is very High Quality.
I use Accel ND30 in yard equipment with very good results for the past 10 years.

An SA (non-detergent) oil will probably cut it for most small engines, but it's not recommended! Just wondering, why do you use it?
