Redline for 3.8V6

I need to know the red line for a 3.8v6 in a 1982 F100 SWB 3speed manual is I ve hardly ever got it over 4250rpms it has around 20psi of oil with 10w30 should I change to 20w50 the presure should increase but by how much and was I babying it
shifting at 3500rpms damn I want a 4 or 5 speed
