Does it make such a big diff?

Hey all,
Just got my oil change at 7000 miles, coz my maintenance light had come on. Previously i got it done at 3500.
Two days after my recent oil, filter and tire rotation. My car now feels like driving on the skies. Suddenly its gotten really smooth. Now it picks up really smoothly than before and just feels like I am gliding. M i just nuts or do you guys have experienced the same???

I've always noticed it, which is one of the reasons why I like to have regular oil changes. I usually just attribute it to the oil being sludgy (is that a word?). When you replace the oil, it allows all of the parts to move easily again.

Some people recommend flushing the tranny fluid every 2 oil changes. Maybe you'll notice better shifting too? =P

+1. Me too. People will argue about it, but all the cars I've owned always seemed to run a little smoother right after an oil change.
