You want to use a detergent oil. period. Everyone has their "pet" oil, SAE 30, 15W-40, 5W-30, and on and on. Non-detergent oil is for compressors and hydraulics (in some cases). I believe my Cub manual says to use non-detergent SAE20 in the touch control unit (could be wrong here, and the manual is not close by).
One thing that is more important than which oil you use, is changing it regularly, and the filter.
Myself, I use detergent SAE 30, straight weight in the summer, and SAE 10 straight weight in the winter. However, any quality detergent oil, changed on a regular basis is what is important. And, Oh My God, when in a pince, I have mixed multi-vis with straight weight when a tractor was low. Not enough oil is also MUCH worse than topping off with a different weight or type of oil.
