#30 is available in all major brands - Mobil, Exxon, Chevron, Texaco, etc API ratings - on gasoline (S) ALL later designations supersede previous ones. So on your motors, they probably call for a #30 SG oil. Todays #30 has a SL (I think that's the latest?) rating and covers your SG and then some. In diesels (C) MOST later designations cover the earlier ones. The major ones to look out for is the 2-cycle diesel oils (CD-II, etc.). Also MOST diesel oils will also cover gas applications. For instance, my TopKick calls for a 10w30 CF-4, but the new standard CI-4 supersedes it, so I use that. I also use that oil in my Honda tiller which calls for 10w30 SG. The oil I use carries a API CI-4/SL rating which makes it perfectly ok to use in gas engines that require that weight. I would prefer to use the diesel grade oils that meet the gas specs if I can in my gas engines as I believe that they are better. I have no proof of this, just my belief.
