What works for someone may not work for others and I can appreciate this.

But you are weakening your anti-wear additives in your oil by using it. If you want thicker go with a 20w60 like redline. OR mix a quart of straight 50w in with your 20w50 and you will get the same result. OR if you are down South just go straight 50 or 60w.
I have done the one qt of straight 50 wt synthetic in with the 20w50 twice with the same results which you speak , and will keep doing it !
