Well since your in NY and the temp at the eastcoast have been getting near 90º or so, i think i would suggest using a higher weight. I used a 10W-30 instead of the 5W-30 but that's because i don't lose oil much and the extra 5W in the beginning will help me when i start my car at hot temp. Most of the time your buring more oil is because your car is heated way too much while driving or racing so if you increase the weight to say 10W-40 than you should be ok.
