I have always used 20w50 and had no problems, but I am in the south and it gets pretty warm down here as opposed to those of you in Yankee Land. Although after replacing oil pump seals on my 83 900t engine I decided to try the 5w50 synthetic and the engine has a terrible rattle at start up and as soon as it gets warm the oil pressure drops to about 30 psi (15 at idle). I agree w/ derf, I think the 5w50 is to light for the engine and gets pushed through it too fast.
