They get oil hungry just before they blow up.
Only kidding, have you been hoofing it about? my A can get a little thirsty when being pushed hard. Even the owners manual says they can use up to a litre per 1000 km, and that's from new.
Not sure about any grades to make it less hungry, i personally don't like mixing oils so i'd only top up with what's in there. Lots of threads on here regarding oils.
I use Quantum
