Most four-cycle engines require a SAE 30 weight that meets the American Petroleum Institute's service class of SF, SH or SG. Due to the high engine speeds, which cause enormous heat and friction, only use a high-quality brand name oil. Most trimmer manufacturers also manufacture their own brand of oil. While not an absolute requirement, this oil will give you factory standard results, as the trimmers have been tested using this oil.
