I would suspect that just the fact that it is newer oil that it would be more efficient in keeping the engine more lubricated thereby decreasing frictional resistance and hence heat.
Did you change viscosities of the oil? I recently made the switch from 5w-20 conventional to Red Line Synthetic 5w-30 and I noticed that under the hood it's much much quieter than it was before. However, upon draining my old oil I found that it was dark as could be and looked like crap.
The sound difference is definitely there though. Valve train noise is not noticeable whatsoever unless the hood is open.
