It could also be a pinched gasket.

For the oil part I highly dought it as I use to run 10w30 in my 06 wrx. I went to full syn Mobil 1 after my break in period. No problem ever.
No, the first time I started it up it was still on all 4 jack stands. I slowly let the temps come up. But it started smoking almost immediately. I thought what some others have said, it's just the new pipes, turbo, etc. So I took it for an easy drive for a few miles and it got way worse.

What gasket are you referring to? From what I understand (I've never taken a turbo apart) but the oil seals are a hard carbon substance, not like a rubber o-ring. I don't think you could pinch them.

Both works and the tuner have said it's kinda hit or miss with mobile 1 and subi's. Sometimes it works, simetimes it doesn't.
