Starting the engine cold then driving six blocks morning and evening is about as hard on oil life as you can get. This usage will cause the service reminder to come on with far fewer total miles than if you were driving ten miles to work each day. The thing to remember is that the oil life monitor does not actually sample the oil directly - it uses algorithms based on data that is already available to the computer such as total engine revolutions, speed, temperature, throttle position, etc, to calculate the oil condition.
As for the oil viscosity, running a thicker oil than what is specified can cause a lack of lubrication in the very close tolerance interfaces between components, especially under usage conditions that you describe. Modern machining techniques have allowed these tolerances to shrink over time as the precision has improved. This allows the use of thinner oils which in turn help improve fuel efficiency.
