It's either in your head, or something else happened to the car. Changing the oil isn't going to slow you down.Matt

Maybe they used a heavier grade oil (20w 50)...? It's has a consistency like syrup and can give a much higher oil pressure reading and make the crank harder to turn, but it's NOT recommended for our engines!!! The viscosity is way too thick! This is why I change the oil myself. I understand that some people don't have the tools or knowledge to do it themselves, but as for me, I don't like someone else having their hands under the hood of my car without me being there.
I would have it changed again immediately and see if the problem goes away.
You lost to a stock explorer??? Thats gotta hurt!sigpicComment
