Most cars seem to run better after a little TLC.
Yes, different oil can affect performance, but I'd doubt you'd feel any difference. I suspect most of it is perception, not reality.
BUT - an oil change can easily quiet an engine that's noisy at idle, because an oil change can clean some crap out of the lifters. And if you had a slightly sticky lifter that's now happier, there could be a slight performance increase and reduced noise at speed.
And next time, change that oil a little sooner. I don't like going much over 10 years.
