Default Best Oil for Kawasaki 401cc?

I searched the forum and couldn't locate anything on the type of oil to use in an E-Z-GO St Sport 2+2. Owners packet doesn't specify nor did the tech at E-Z-GO in GA. They only said to use 10W-30. Any recommendations would be appreciated. My use is mostly as a people mover for the family on paved roads and light trails in the Florida climate.

I was wondering myself, sort of leaning toward royal purple or mobil 1 synthetic in my Robins 350. Comments anyone?

I was considering Amsoil. They have a 10W40 that's recomended.

Well at least we're all leaning toward synthetic.

Royal Purple, Amsoil, Mobil 1: all really good true synthetics. If its an older cart and switching to one of these synthetics, be sure to keep eye out for any oil leaks. Probably won't have any but a good idea to check. These synthetics contain cleaning agents and they can clean around seals, etc... and possibly cause leaks. Not to apt on a cart but I've seen it in autos.
