Basic maintenance considerations:
Transmission Fluid needs to be changed yearly (or every 30,000 miles, whichever comes first)
Oil needs to be changed every 3 months (or every 3,000 miles, whichever comes first) (also the filter needs to be replaced -- some people only change the oil which only temporarily helps as the filter quickly makes it dirty again)
Brake fluid should be checked every 6 months and topped off as needed.
Tire rotations should be every 6 months (or sooner if recommended by the tire manufacturer). Alignment correction as needed (if you bump tires on curbs or other obstacles, otherwise about once a year)
Bumper to bumper inspections should be done before all long trips or once a year.
Tune ups should be done once a year (sparkplugs, belt adjustments, etc)
Air filter should be checked every time the oil is changed and replaced as needed (at least once a year, sooner with alot of mileage or a dirty engine).
The radiator should be drained and filled yearly, or twice a year if you are correcting for extreme seasonal variations from hot to cold or cold to hot months (more often with high mileage)
That's all just a summary of basic inspection and maintanence, mileage recommendations may vary and those listed here are based on an average of most vehicles needs (consult your manual)

Since replacing the oil temporarily solved the problem, it sounds like something is making the oil dirty faster than normal. All the usual suspects that can cause oil to dirty quickly should be checked.

More specific I would say get your fuel system checked.
The fuel system may be dirty or partially clogged. Contaminants in the fuel line may cause fuel to misfire or not ignite properly leading to the car jerking as it loses and regains power between piston fires.
If the issue is minor than simply using a fuel line cleaner or higher grade octane may improve the problem. It could also be a misfiring spark plug (when was your last tune up or engine check?) A more major problem may require the fuel pump or fuel injector be replaced.
