Which dish detergent breaks up oil the best?
Like dissolves like. Water and oil do not mix because water molecules are polar (i.e., having either a positive or negative charge) and oil molecules are non-polar. Detergent molecules have a polar end and a non-polar end; think of a jellyfish with its head representing the polar side and its tails representing the non-polar end. In water, detergent molecules group themselves to form cage-like micelles, exposing the polar heads to water and shielding the non-polar tails. Detergent's non-polar ends stick to oil, and the detergent's polar head is soluble in water. With sufficient amount of detergent, the detergent molecules trap the oil molecules in cage-like micelles that are soluble in water. Rinse off the detergent with trapped oil and wallah! No more oil and grease! :-)

How does detergents help oil and water mix?
Do you know the phrase " Like dissolves like "? it means that polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and non-polar substances dissolve non-polar substances. Oil is non-polar, while water is a polar substance. To help oil and water mix, molecules of a detergent have two halves- the hydrophilic half and the hydrophobic half. The hydrophilic part of the molecule is polar, which dissolves water molecules. The hydrophobic part is non-polar, so it dissolves the oil molecules. So, basically, detergent can dissolve both oil and water, mixing them effectively.

No, 30 wt or 30 weight oil is a non-detergent oil whereas SAE30 is a detergent oil. Read the label on each container. Any motor oil which is non-detergent blend will be clearly marked as such. Conversely, any oil which is not specifically marked as non-detergent is by default, a detergent blend. Most non-detergent oils will be marked as ND30.
