Hi Everyone,
Just got the oil changed this morning. Had Castrol 5w-30 from the dealer. This morning the shop used Elf 5w-40. They said it was good for summer. As soon as I drove off, the car felt really sluggish. It was as if the REVO had been taken off. After driving it a couple of times it seems to get a little better and less hesitant. It is an independent shop and pretty sure they didnt reflash the ECU. My TT is an '03 225. Any ideas as to why this happened?

Have you checked your oil level?

Yeah...could be over filled..

Unplugged battery. Maybe ECU needs to adapt again.

Or they could have put in Prius oil by mistake.

or Yugo oil which is explosive as we all lknow...just like Nitro! ;-)

I think you are right. I checked the dipstick while the car was level after running the engine for a while. The oil was way above the "full" mark. Not sure how much is really in there though. Will take it back to the shop and ask him how much oil he used.
