Question: is 20w50 thicker than 10w30?
Answer: SAE 20W50 is thicker than 10W30, so it'll be longer to reach your engine parts during cold start, but the 20W50 could give your engine extra protectiom when it's heat and being used for long time running. The sound would be smoother than the 10W30 even you get less responsive on the acceleration.
