Castrol 5W40

I switched to synthetic oil today, and I noticed a number of things.

First off was the higher HOT oil pressure. I used to be at about 1.5bar at an 80 degree idle now I'm at almost 2.0bar. looks good to me.
The engine seems to rev faster, but that might be in my head.
It's QUIETER! I noticed a marked decrease in the usual clatter that my engine gives off.

Is it all in my head???

oh yeah, one thing I noticed while I was changing my oil. Cold Syn 5W40 is thinner than HOT 15W40 ...coupled with the slightly higher oil pressure I have to say WOW!
