It is more than likely just your imagination. Unless the car was WAYYYYY overdue for one. Or you changed from crap oil to mobile 1 or royal purple(the heroin of oils).

Yeah not likely related. The shifts are controlled by the computer.

I have never tried Mobile 1 in my car but I will just tell you Castrol Syntec does much better in mine than Royal Purple, seem to have a noticeable difference in power

But back to the subject, I wouldnt expect that to happen since your shifts are made by the computer and the oil has nothing at all to do with it
