Okay thanks I'm going to get the 10w30 or 15w40 whichever is cheaper. I'm not choosing us spirit oil. Can I used 10w30 or 15w30 in the lawn mower also if I'm buying oil for the tractor?

I was going to get the oil 15w40 and tech from advance auto parts store told me is not good to used 15w40 in the tractor and telling me that engine will blow up so he told to get straight oil like sae 30 non detergent.
No it's not true...truth is that 15W-40 is way better for your tractor than listening to the tech from advance auto.
edit= I will give the "tech from advance auto" some leeway, if your motor has run non detergent oil for years then detergent oil would loosen up all the sludge at bottom of engine. That could cause problems...
Do I get 15w40 valvoline premium blue heavy duty oil and can I used this in the regular lawnmower? I hope engine don't get damage if I used diesel oil.
