Default Switch to Synthetic Oil could cause this?

I recently changed from conventional oil to full sunthetic oil in my 2000 ex coupe 5-speed.

Now at idle, i notice a very slight vibrating in the front end.....it is so ever slight, it may just be my imagination.

could the switch cause something like this?

80,000 miles on car

Check you motor mounts.

But no, the eingine might sound a little different but oil wouldnt be causing vibration.
