Has anyone noticed increased oil consumption in their push mowers while using 10W-30 rather than straight 30W? I am a stickler about using only 5W-30 in my auto engines but when it comes to small motors I really don't pay much attention to which one I use, between the two others. (10-30&30) The manuals caution not to use 10W-40 and I have never understood the reason why that weight would be any different from 10W-30, seems like it would better protect an engine in really hot weather.
