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.


it takes 0.4l

I bought a litre of 10/40 for a silly price at the garage on the way to
work this morning

That'll do
