Milky is usually an indication of water intrusion, however it's not normal for synthetic oil to mix with water, it usually sits separated, unlike dyno. I'd change it and keep an eye on it.

Milky oil is definitely not cool. How does the car run and idle? Is the cooling system full? Any funky gunk at the top of the radiator when you take the cap off?
I too would change it and keep an eye on it.
FWIW, I run Castrol 20W-50 in my '88 T2.
