Hi, You should, of course, read the manual and use whatever the Kawasaki company recommends. That said, most small air cooled engines will do very well using SAE 30 detergent motor oil. Look for 5W30 at the auto parts store.

buy 3 qts of a good quality 30wt... I recommend the Kawasaki branded oil but it's not necessary. that engine should hold barely 2.2 qts with a filter change
Compressor grade oils are basically SAE30 W oil. Read this:
Rol-Air OILCOMP30W34C Air Compressor Pump Oil - 30W Quart features , Specially engineered and tested to match the requirements of Rol-Air air compressors , Provides superior rust and corrosion protection.
I.e SAE 30W oil / the same thing you would use in an older lawn mower engine or generator.
What they don't tell you is because they have re-labeled the 30W oil to OILCOMP30W they can charge you big time for SAE 30W oil. The only difference is the label.
The transmission does not take separate oil. The engine oil also lubricates the transmission. This is why you do not use oil marked "energy conserving", and why they market special motorcycle oils. 10w30 is fine for your engine.
Here is the Oil for the WP1200 and WP2300
