could be not enough oi, wrong filter or oil too thin or could be not related to the oil change.

1st... Check the oil level......!!!!

Then, Ask them what oil they used and what grade it was..

(what engine have you got?)

for petrol engined watercooleds you need a 15w40, anything thinner (ie a 5w30) is too thin.. for a tired engine a 20w50 is often needed..

Could be the oil filter....

Could also be the oil pressure switch(s)
