I just bought this car in May and have had the oil changed. I have also had to add oil since the change because the oil light blinks off and on. It seems to burn a lot of oil. Should I increase the weight of the oil so it won't burn so fast?

You can check your pcv but that's a lot of oil to be burning. You can try adding some Lucas oil stabilizer in the to your oil to slow the burning but the engine is shot.
