is it subconscious, or does my car pull harder after a synthetic oil change?

dunno, but I wish i knew my engine temps before I switched.
Lots of people say they notice a 15-20 diff in temp, but I don't remember what I had. I'm @200 degrees now fully warm now when the temp is 65 or less outside.

mine used to be pegged on 200, never moved, coming up on the service it would go about 15 degrees
warmer when running the car over 60mph. Just got the oil changed and it runs at 200-210.

if you switched to a lower grade, then yes ....
since the lower grade oil is less dense, it is easier for the engine to turn, hence it may pull harder - revvs up quicker.
