Your, using 20W50 oil in this high temps that we have been having right???

And, you will have slightly retarded timing when it get warm like it has been, comparied to the cooler weather we get in the winter.

EDIT...

In warm weather you will be experiencing a slight performance loss. Always.

Although is your cold air intake TRULY plumbed to cold air, or is it still sucking in warm air from the engine bay?

Amused unless it gets very cold in winter you can run it all year round. I use 20w50 in summer and 10w30 in the winter.
