I don't mean to start an argument, but i disagree that the 20w50 is too thick and also will make the engine hotter than it should WITH A STOCK 26MM OIL PUMP. Do you have any base to say that?

If you check on the same owner's manual, you will see that for the temperatures we having lately the 30 is on the edge of being inadequate and the 20w50 is actually capable of working well even in slightly hotter temps, therefore offering more protection to the engine.

I have real life experience for i build engines for a living and have done many tests, i can safely say that running a 20w50 will not damage or make your engine run hotter. It will make it run better for keeping a good oil film therefore giving the protection the engine needs to live longer. Just my £0.01
