I've got a 2005 Lincoln LS8 with about 50,000 miles on it. Its my everyday car and i currently have 5w20 in it now, and had it in there since 18,000 miles (fully syn), also stay in tampa fl (hot everyday) if i switched to 5w-30 now would it hurt my car or not make a diff, also is it tru that LS's in really hot weather climtates should use 5w-30 or no??????

No, 5w-30 will not hurt your Lincoln LS, going 32,000 miles between oil changes even with fully syn may not be the best especially the oil filter.

i don't go that far on one oil change i still do it every 5,000 to 6,000
