Rough run after oil change
 

I recently purchased a 2000 2.5L Wrangler SE. I just personally
finished putting 6000 miles on it, and hence, just got my second oil
change. I used Mobil 1 10W-30 synthetic oil both times.

I've noticed that both times I changed the oil, it seems that she
looses a bit of power and feels sluggish compared to before the oil
change. After 1500 miles or so, she seems to gain it back. Any ideas
why this may be happening?

Just speculation, but the oil can get diluted with gas and combustion by
products over time. This thins the oil.

The new oil will be thicker and account for the symptoms you describe,
but this tends to be more common with high mileage vehicles. You could
have an internal coolant leak, I suppose.
