22 HP B&S Twin in a 42" John Deere. I'm running 10w30 PP and wonder if there might be a better over-the-counter 10w30 oil that would be better? Ed
Which oil?

Oil is good at the proper level of some form of combustion engine oil.
I wonder if Rotella T-5 might be a better choice. Ed
I like Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W30 better for air cooled engines since it carries a more robust additive package with the higher allowable limits of ZDDP that the API SL rating allows.

+1 T5 Rotella will also work.

Yeah T5 would be my top non synthetic choice

I am currently running 10W30 Mobil 1 EP in the same engine, but the advice above seems to have some merit. At present the oil and filter have only 9 running hours on them, but the oil still looks like new.

FWIW I use T-5 10W-30 in my Snapper rider. Have also used Delo 15w40.

The EP 10w30 is still going to treat that engine very well, can't really go wrong with any flavor of Mobil 1 10w30 for OPE.

Let's go out on a limb here and speculate that the OP wants to reduce the variety of oils in his garage. I can relate to that, having a good supply of two oils not in my signature plus another three lying around. A discussion of strategy to minimize automotive and OPE lubricants may be in order.
Yes, I realize that there are many of them to be found here...

I run M1 Euro 0w-40 in my air cooled OPE and the oil looks good after extended use. It has a very nice add pack and a 40wt will work great for air cooled applications like yours.

Either or, plus a half bottle of LM MoS2
