Problem solved! Skailing and sklein were correct in their comments suspecting the distributor. It was corroded distributor cap and rotor terminals. I replaced them with generic ones from Advance Auto for $25 and the car is back to normal. I guess it was just a weird coincidence that the problem started after I changed the oil and trans fluid. I didn’t think it was anything to do with my distributor because it was fairly new, but now I know it doesn’t take that long for the cap and rotor to get corroded. A big take away for me is knowing that a car can idle normally with worn out distributor parts and sometimes only have problems running under load. Thank you for all the ideas and comments and I hope this thread helps others in the future.
