Is there any reason my car would seem sluggish after putting this new oil in? Does it take some time to "break in"?

I switched from conventional and used 10w-30 synthetic for the first time.

Yeah, I think it's fine now. I actually think it performs better, which I kind of expected.

Lol I'm such a noob at oil changes

Theres really not that big of a difference between synthetic and petroleum based. Just the price.

I am waiting for this guy to show up at your door lol.



But i was going to say, when you had mentioned sluggishness, you did change your filter too right? But since it is all good now, I will let that go.
