Yojack,
Good to hear from you. I live in Central MA and have similar temperature swings, never a complaint with 0w40 on my end and I sleep a little better knowing quality oil is used as I tend to be a spirited driver :) Also my wife's current series Jetta calls for 5w40 full synthetic from the factory - neither of our cars burn a drop in between intervals.
for the filter removal:
