To be honest id feel 50 max, do they make a 10-50? Or is it just 20-50,
Even better if there was a 10-45. Glad it helped though and it did on mine, i feel like it got better the longer ive been running the oil as now i never see smoke. With the 5-20 it was bad like under 30 sec idle and huge clouds.
Also how many miles on it?

Yeah i drove it down the road a bit and im pretty sure it was hot enough, the coolant temp was up to normal running and it sat in the garage idling for 10-15 minutes before i hit the gas.
Just looked and yes they make 10-50 but its mostly used by the Motorcycles and the BMW Bikes as well.
about 183k miles, ill see if it got any better throughout the week
