Can I use 5W30 instead of SAE 30 in my generator?

5w-30 is fine to use. It has the same flow rate as SAE30 at normal operating temps. The way oil works is, the first number is flow rate at ambient temp.

Should I use SAE 30 or 10W30?

Older engines can use the SAE30, while the 10W30 is for modern engines. Again, the SAE30 is better for warmer temperatures while the 10W30 is suitable for varying temperature ranges and also works well in cold weather.

Is there a difference between SAE 30 and 5W30?

The difference lies in the thickness. The lower the first number, the thinner the oil gets at extreme low temperatures. 5w30 is a SAE 5 when cold and SAE 30 when warm. Same goes for 10w30 multi-grade oil.

What does SAE 30 stand for?

SAE 30 is a typical single-grade rating . That means that an organization called the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) ran the oil through a standardized tube-like device and timed how long it took, in seconds, to flow from one end to the other. The viscosity rating is the number of seconds rounded to the nearest multiple of ten.
