Default 10w-30 Synthetic oil on a Push Lawn Mower

I have some left over never used 10w-30 synthetic oil after my S2K oil change . Can it be used on a push lawn mower?

No. Push lawn mowers require only 7w/13 oil.

I put it in my mower. Of the 4 cars me and the wifey have, only 1 gets regular oil.

The mower and pressure sprayer (same honda motor on both) get 10w30 mobile 1

Pretty sure 10W30 is what our Honda push mower calls for. I use Castrol Syntec.
