Oil will be changed mid October and will not be out before May of next year. I'm located in Long Island if that helps and I'll be doing about 50% highway driving to college and the rest is a 1 mile drive to my new job at pepboys. The car does get to around 45 miles an hour for a minute or two since pepboys is on a service road when going to work.

Just use what you use during the summer.
I read a few good oil articles about summer/winter oil. They ALL stated the same thing, but in their own individual words, that whatever you use during the summer is just as good to use during the winter. I seem to agree.
