Default Oil change?

So it has only been about 2500 miles since i got my last oil change, but my car seems to be driving sort of rough it feels like. And when i shift the movement seems stiffer than usual. any of u guys know what this may be a product of?

When was the last time you replaced such things as the spark plugs and air filter? Did you recently change from mineral oil to synthetic? Try cleaning the throttlebody/MAF.

i don't think the spark plugs have been replaced in a while, but i will wait till i get my KO4 to put new ones on. Shoud i just use sea foam to clean the maf/throttlebody. but it had always run on synthetic and it has a k&n filter so i dont need to worry bout those things.

Clean your Maf with throttle body cleaner. Don't use seafoam unless you know what you are doing as it may cause damage. Read the writeups on Audiworld.com about seafoam.

Oil may have gotten on your maf from the K&N. Also I just cleaned my TB and noticed some black syrup like crap.
