I don't have your answer, but after my last fuel line/blown fpr incident (broke down at the dealer while I was buying a check valve...$) they changed out my fuel contaminated oil with 5w30 (i think the semi syn, but unsure) and I haven't had any cold start valve tapping. My crankshaft seal leak seems to be a lot smaller as well :). I was running Mobil1 - which is a great oil, but for me pretty noisy when cold.
I've switched two 900's over to synth - one base and now my SPG (p.o. used semi synth) and both leaked at the crankpulley. Oil leaks just give the power steering leaks company so...
Change over (I would go full synth on a turbo, btw) but still change at 3000. Get a good filter too.
It's Murphy's Law - it will start leaking or something totally unrelated will break, just to let you know how it feels about experimentation...
good luck
