no one listen to this guy using 20w50 is just killing his bearings on every cold start....
5w is really good for our people up north...using a synthetic really is a must for better cold start flow of oil....10w30 otherwise..going with a too thick oil hurts horsepower as well the 0w conventional oil might be needed in really cold weather like Canada's winter's...
as for the guy using oil and adding every few days, you have blow by as your engine has a fair amount of wear and 10w30 would be what I would try
