Rotella oil and now......

I did my first oil change on my 96 since purchasing. I had some Rotella laying around so I put the Rotella in my 96. I used to get the normal drips out of the breather tube. But now with the Rotella my truck does not drip any oil. Any reason the Rotella would drip less out the breather tube? I used to run Valvoline in my other 12 valves but I use Rotella in my equipment and thought I would try it in the 96.

Was it the regular 10/40? Or Rotella Synthetic?
