In my opinion if after the oil change it would not start most likely the auto shutdown was activated because of no oil pressure to protect the engine.
By continually spraying it with either to make it run they were over riding the safety protection causing damage to the bottom end of the engine with the end result of a locked up engine.
It sure sounds like to me something was definitely done wrong with the oil change.
The odds of something else going wrong with the engine at the exact time of the oil change are astronomical and like wining the lottery.
Also In my opinion the original shop needs to answer some difficult questions and is fully responsible for doing what ever is needed to make it run correctly again.Rideandrepair, akki abdel, AModelCat and 1 other person Thank this. -
