What makes you think 50 psi is inadequate? That is plenty of pressure. Your engine will live no better or longer with more oil pressure. 35 psi at rpm (hot) is OK. Try 20w-50 if you think the gauge needs to read higher. What is your oil temp when hot? You might be getting you oil to 230 degrees, and that can cause you problems.
