I would not run 20W-50 unless you drive it pretty hard all the time. Higher viscosity leads to higher friction and temperatures which reduces viscosity and promotes break down. Chevy recommends 5W-30 for their ZZ502. Also depends somewhat on the clearances the bearings are set-up with. Higher clearance applications will favor the use of higher vidcosity oil in general.
