Slipping clutch, and no the oil change would not cause this

Test to make sure your clutch it slipping, get on the highway and get in the slow lane and get into 5th gear bring the rpms down to 2500rpms and then punch it let it hit full boost and watch the tach. IE: if your steady climbing to 3000 and suddenly it jumps to 5000rpms and then goes back down to 3000 you have a slipping clutch.
