20w50 is really too thick to use. It won't hurt anything, but you may be losing a little power because it takes more force for the motor to pump 20w50 as opposed to a 10w30 or a 5w40. I found the Mobil 1 0w40 to be ideal for my car.
When I'm looking at oil pressure I want to see about 10 psi per 1000 RPM. So at redline I'm looking for close to 60 psi. As long as you have that you are just fine.
