Clutch oil?
So you have a hydraulically operated clutch?

I'm not sure if that would be the cause, might also be one of those unlucky combination of circumstances.

In a cable operated clutch, like on my 92, you can adjust free play wrong and have the clutch not fully engage as a result.
If I understand things correctly, a hydraulic clutch is self adjusting in the same way the brakes are self adjusting.

If the clutch pedal travels and feels normal, the same way as before the clutch oil change, I'd be more inclined to suspect the sping tension in the clutch is no longer what it should be, or it's simply worn out.
Some more eliminating needs to be done.
