That looks OK for 20W oil. I just rebuilt my engine and oil pump. Using
40W oil, I have 60 lbs cold, 50 lbs hot. 
One thing about multi-weight oils: they are as viscous as the low number
only. A 20W-50 oil is a 20W oil with scuff inhibitors to simulate the
film strength of a 50W oil. When heated, a 20W-50 weight oil is probably
about 18W. It will never get thicker, only thinner, when heated.
