10W/30 is thinner than 10W/50.
You should be running a 50 weight oil (e.g. 10W/50) all year round in the 3SGTE.
Thicker oil (e.g. 10W/60) will probably decrease the amount of oil slipping past your rings, turbo seals or valve stem seals, however, using thicker oil to mask these problems is just a band-aid approach and may lead to bigger problems in the future.
In your case I would say that you still haven't bedded in the rings properly.
You should have used a mineral oil to run in your engine... is this what you ran?
With a decent oil in a properly run in engine in good working order you should be able to go from one oil change to the next without having to top it up at all.

Thanks Toobs, I used Valvoline SAE-30 Monograde for the first two oil changes, then went to Synthetic.
I'll get the temp issues sorted out when I can..
