10w30 synthetic, German Castrol 0w30 or Mobil 1 0W40 which is a lighter 40 weight. All much better choices than sae 30.
OPE or HDEO 10W30
My 22 hp B&S in my John Deere calls for 10w30. The B&S site calls for 5w30 prefered or 10w30. I run Pennzoil Platinum 10w30. Rus well and no consumption noted. Ed

5W30/10W30 synthetic of your choice or any SAE30 oil.
I have three B&S engines sililiar to yours and I run them hard.They are 6-15 years old.I have always used SAE30 as recommended. I usually use Supertech, change it every 50 hours. No consumption or problems. You might have some consumption using 10/30.I believe the newer engines are going towards multi viscosity oil.

I assume its a mower? In TN with a summer OPE you could use 10W30 synthetic or a HDEo 30.

I just run a mix of the left over oil from my vehicles in my 21 horse Briggs, Mobil Delvac 15w-40, M1 5w-30 & M1 0w-20.
What does the asterisks mean on the chart with the 10w30? I think it means Prefered but, not sure. Ed

The asterisk with the 10W-30 means that it can be used up faster above 80*F and to check the oil level more frequently.

The engine will survive on just about anything in the 20 to 40 weight range. Heck, probably even 50 weights too.
What will work best (for the $)? HDEO 10W30. Rotella T5 is probably easiest to find but Chevron Delo, Pennzoil Long Life and others can also be found in 10W-30 if you look in the right places.
If you tend to torture your equipment, especially in 85F+ weather, I'd go with 15W-40.

This qoute below is directly from Briggs & Stratton
______________________________________
Conventional 10W-30 (0 to 100° F / -18 to 38° C) is better for varying temperature conditions. This grade of oil improves cold weather starting, but may increase oil consumption at 80° F(27° C) or higher.
