Default Morel 4708 lifters oil w/turbos

I'm using Mobil 1 10w30HM right now and after a couple pulls, the oil pressure drops. I'm thinking the turbos (BW366's) are heating the oil quite a bit. I want to try 10w40, but have been told the Morel's don't like thick oil. I actually had one collapse using Rotella 15w40 (don't think that was the problem though). Anybody have real world experience?

What do you mean by drops? Like goes to 0 psi or goes from 60 to 40 ect. If its dropping to 0 i dont think its gonna be the oil viscosity.

Idle cold - 50

idle after a couple pulls- 22

6k after a couple pulls- 45

I'm out of input channels otherwise I'd log oil temp.
