Apparently, you can still notice the difference when swapping the oil in winter.
Knowing I was going to switch grades, I had a few looks at what the car used @ a set speed (50 kph) on a particular stretch of road early on in my commute.
After swapping to 0W30, FC was lower.
Not very scientific I know
but conditions (weather etc) were otherwise quite stable.
