i dont think getting a heavier oil will help 20w50 and a 5w-30 have the same viscosity at operating temps the difference is at start up where a 20w-50 has a really high viscosity (very bad) and 5w-30 is lower (better) try the sea foam but dont go to a heavier oil it will only cause more wear at start up...

exactly a heavier oil is stupid IMO because it causes more wear at start up and takes longer to get to that operating viscosity i will try and find this oil thing i read written by a rocket fricking scientist and post it on here for you to read but be warned its long as hell but very interesting and great info

Oh boy not this again.
Oil will not cure piston slap.
Best oil to use is GC 0w30 period......
oh and do read the link above you'll learn a lot.
0w is great for cold start from Canada to Texas or AZ.
we all know cold starting an engine is were we get the most wear.
