I have read a lot about not using 20-50 but maybe those guys are in Mikiec country.
One of my cars runs about 50 psi and still spins reliably to 6800 if I want to.

It idles at 20 psi.

I run a 5w40.

It used to have more oil pressure with the thicker oil I ran 25-30 at idle, 60 at 3000, but it made less power.
