I agree with it being the timing belt slipping on the int. shaft. That
explains the squealing, the loss of oil pressure and loss of brake boost.
With dino (or even blend) I bet your problem is probably two things.
Running that oil 9K miles and likely a slightly loose timing belt.
I run 15W/40 and change it every 5K (easy to keep track of). One
time I went over and figured no biggie since it went 7,500 and the
book calls for that interval. It gets thick when cold, really thin
when warm, started burning oil, the exhaust even smelled of it. I
thought I was looking at some major problems. Changed the oil
and all was well.
I'd guess your oil is way thick when cold and is causing a slightly
loose, possibly slightly damp (condensation) timing belt to slip.
