I use 30wt Non-detergent - I do not change it very often, mainly because my A never makes it very far before leaving me sit. Therefore my mileage between oil changes does not really accumulate..

The 30wt mentioned above by William may be the SAE30 I mentioned.

Required reading should include http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil which includes a description of single grade oil (like the SAE30 or 30W) and the multi-grade more modern oils. (Like 5W-30)

I might expect the synthetic oils would probably be classified under multi-grade.
