I bought a little 900W genny the other week


It says to use 10/30 oil, I've got some SAE 20 fork oil lying around,
should that be OK ?


I'd say not - specialist oils won't be to the same formulation as engine
ones. There's more to an oil than the viscosity.

Think Halfords had a good brand 10/30 on offer the other day in 5 litre
containers.
