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.

Re: Rough run after oil change
 

For extreme values of speed and probably trivial values of
speed increase, there may even be some small truth to this. Granted
few ever get to run Bonneville or even the Mulsanne Straight
to test this.

Still struggling with the concept of Mobil 1 being either too
thick an oil or thinning with use...

Re: Rough run after oil change
 

An oil change with the proper weight oil should not make any difference in
power. 10W30 is the proper weight oil.

Haven't noticed any speed differences before/after waxing, however,
driving characteristics are different before/after oil changes.
