why would using a synthetic motor oil make the vtec kick in at a higher rpm?

Well, finally enough warm (ha!) weather to melt most streets and I was able to get out and test VTEC.
I did some test runs, and found that in 2nd gear WOT, it engages apx. 6600rpm, a bit higher in 3rd (no where around here to go fast enough for 4th gear test I usually am about 75% throttle max, which gets me apx. 7000rpm engagements.
Still not sure about powerlevel; WOT I can feel engagement, but I had to really play around to do so. Kwando, next time we get together I'd definately like to trade for a bit and see if there is any difference. Might also be able to tell about the 2nd gear "grind" (which seems to be getting louder, but could be just my noticing it more).
