If you are burning oil that bad then I don't think switching oil types is going to help. Sounds like you have a problem.

Synthetic oil is more slippery, not actually thinner. just don't use a straight weight oil, unless you are racing, because that stuff thins out a little when heated to it's boiling point. Where as somethin like 10w30 flows like a 10 weight when cold, but thickens to a 30 weight when it reaches it's operating temp.
Sounds like you have a lot of blow by.
