Synthetic is a good choice for a lot of stuff and I recommend it, but it is so thin and we all know how diesels natural leak oil and then the blow by....isn't worth it....I ran 5w-30 out of curiosity on a trip back to cali, I burnt and lost every drop of it.....so I won't be trying it again...

Get that valve adjustment done asap, that can help blow by a lot....if the valves are really tight and some loose....they may be carboned up pretty badly, mine never had a valve adjustment...this is my 6th one in about a year and less then 3k....this was the first adjustment where I actually had one valve to spec....because there was so much carbon and driving it was slowly beating it off the valves...
I amy getting ready to do a valve adjustment, but do not think it has anything to with blowby (crankcase pressure). If the exhaust valve clearance is to tight that exhaust valve will not seat and seal loosing compression to the exhaust system. If an intakes valve is to tight it would loose compression into the intake manifold. Adjusting the valves allows the engine to build compression to the maximum that the engine is capable of producing without any replaced parts. If that is not correct please inform me how it helps blowby. I have read that a Marvel Mystery Oil soaking of the cylinders could loosen up stuck rings which is where most of the blowby is coming from.
