Default Recent Oil Change Service - now studders on accelaration..?

Just had oil change / service yesterday - now driving car today and car studders in low range each gear (at lower rpms) - more so in 4th gear for some reason. Almost seems as if engine is not getting enough fuel...?

What would cause this? It did not do this prior to oil change.

Really not trusting this mechanic... anything they could have done? Accidentally or intentionally?

Thanks

Accidentally: Wrong oil, bad oil filter, oil level is not full.
Intentionally: Only he knows.

What was serviced on the car besides the oil?

Usually nothing changes when you get your oil change, unless the technician deliberately did something to alter your vehicle..

I recommend you to have to car look at by a trusted mechanic before you start pointing finger. It could be just coincidence.

Check your oil level, see if it is over filled.
