So I did an oil change today, big whoop right? Anyway my jeep has been having problems taking off from a stop for the last couple weeks kind of like the trans is sticking or slipping or maybe like my fuel pressure regulator was failing (I don't know which because I'm not a professional) but after doing my oil change today (or half of one anyway) it went away. Any ideas on what was/is going on? Also I had a valvoline filter which is now a wix, and also some random type of oil which is now still part that part rotella and part engine restore.
