No, its not thinner, sounds like your turbo started to leak. Chalk it up to sh*t happens. :(

Check the oil drain tube in the back of the block. It may be crimped or blocked off, that would cause the oil to back up in the center housing and cause a lot of pressure. Or just the turbo going bad, any shaft play? Oil in the intercooler/intercooler piping??

Didn't you just change the Headgasket? The oil return line sounds like a good thing to check, may have kinked it when putting the head back on.

Take off the hose that goes from the airbox to the inlet of the turbo, then wiggle the shaft up and down and in and out with 2 fingers. There should be no in and out movement, and only a small amount of up and down/side to side motion.

Personally, I've run about every viscosity and type of motor oil in all my engines and have never had a problem switching between them. I'm willing to bet the problem is with the turbo or the oil return.

The turbo seals were probably bad but werent leaking when u were using regular motor oil because the sludge in there was keeping it from leaking. When u switched to synthetic which has detergents in it to wash out the sludge, it started leaking. Synthetics dont create problems, they just show u the problems that are there :)

I'm confused, what did the head gasket have to do with it?
