Can your oil affect your idling?

Ever since I changed from a traditional 5w30 oil to a semi synthetic mobil oil same grade, my car has had an idling problem that occurs most of the time but not always. It will jump from say 800 to 1k rpms and you can feel it when your cruising along as well.
I had to replace my IAC valve for an idling issue about 6 months ago and that did the trick. Im just wandering if perhaps the oil change has something to do with it cause I just dont see my IAC going bad in such a short amount of time.
