Default Oil change effect

Please assist. I recently serviced my car an Audi A4 Quattro 2000 1.8. I changed the oil and the oil filter. Now since the change the car has had some changed in performance. In some instances though not consistently, it loses power when driving on a steep road. At times it starts jerking as if low on fuel. At times when you start it, the accelerator pedal does not respond when you step on it, even the break pedal as well. The car has automatic transmission.

Please help. Could this be a result of the oil change or there is something more serious that i need to look at.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I have checked both and they seem ok. Is there a possibility that the oil change i did is the cause of all. Because when its supposed to engage the low gears on its own, it seems it does not have power to drive on steep areas.

I feel like it's more of a senor problem. Have you aligned the throttle body using vagcom? I'm not sure I wanna say no to oil causing your cat trouble..
