I did read somewhere that oil gets thicker as it gets older which would cause you to loose pep .I think it was on a tacoma forum My old 96 tacoma has 189,000 miles and still going strong on Mobil 1 5w30

yes your right, but if your oil is thickening in 5000 miles you have a real problem, as oil get real old it will turn to thick sludge. The reason it feels less peppy is these new 5w20 have great fuel saving ( friction reducing additives that reduce friction between the oil molecules, these energy saving additives deplete after a few thousand miles so there is more internal friction in the oil at the change interval.
