95 jetta loss of power

I have a 95 jetta 3. It seems like, since its last oil change, it's lost some power. Anyone know anything i could do to fix it?

It most likely means that you are heading for a tune-up.

I assume you have checked the oil level and all is okay. When you indicate that it has lost power is it skipping or hesitating? How many miles and when were the plugs rotor and cap last replaced?

I have a 95 that exhibited missing while accelerating and found that the plugs, cap and rotor were original (130K miles). I was surprised it was still running. Replaced all items and it is a different car. I used the Bosch platinum plugs.

Yeah, the oil is good. When i say loss of power, i mean it just doesn't take off like it used to;it takes longer to gain speed. It has 70k miles and i'm not sure when the plugs, cap, and rotor were last replaced, I would have to ask the previous owner.

Thanks for the help, i'll check up on all that.
