Usually a rough running engine has nothing to do with an oil change you way have an oil leak onto the spark plugs or you may have a defective pcv system

Engine check light showed up when I drove at 65 mph

I would recommend having the computer checked for trouble codes next. The codes will help point a mechanic in the right direction for what to test.

2001 jeep grand cherokee runs rough while doing 50 mph and feels like the motor is shaking. It runs rough sometimes. The problem is not constant. The wheel will feel like a wheel weight has fallen off,...

As something to start with, I would check your injectors, do an injector cleaner/seafoam treatment. I would also drain the oil, and check with a magnet to make sure there are no metal shavings running around, and check to see if one of the cylinders has lost compression/the spark plug isn't working.

1995 k2500 Chevy truck engine runs rough some of the time?

I had a similar problem @105k. I had changed the fuel filter but it was still sending all kinds of codes that were related to 2 problems. Long story short, the main problem was a bad trigger assembly in the distributor (rough running) and the other was a loose engine to body ground (engine code issue). Good luck, this worked for me, now 171k.

Engine light came on , it runs very rough,shakes, lost pwr

It sounds like an ignition problem. Make sure your battery is good and connections are clean. I would start by replacing the plug wires and spark plugs. This is a good tune up procedure anyway and will increase your mileage some. Clean or change the air filter. The obvious thing is to make sure the oil is new and filled to the correct level, not overfilled. Your engine will love you. I hope this helps.

Seem like you need to have at-least the two front tires high speed balanced. This shaking at high speed is most likely due to the tire being out of balanced. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA
