The first number denotes the viscosity of oil at its lower temperature and the second number denotes viscosity at the higher temperature.
So for example 5W-30, indicates oil viscosity 5 at  low temperature and 30 indicates oil viscosity at high temperature.
I think the multigrade 40/30 you have been told to use is probably wrong.
Although I could be wrong!  ;D

hi jsmc  you dont say if the oil is for engine or petrol mix/2stroke    go to a good mower shop   
if its 2stroke oil i would recomend stilh oil   it is mineral oil and wont whisker the plug up
use 2x times recomended amount     lot cheaper than blowing engine up
