Wouldn't think the oil change would have affected anything that would cause a CEL. Unless some wire got knocked loose or something. Have the code scanned. Otherwise we can't help ya much.

the oil might need to be reset and it usually runs with the check engine light. turn the key to the on position(engine off) and press the gas pedal down 3 times within 3 seconds. see if that works

OIL has nothing to do with triggering the CEL light. Get the codes scanned and go from there.
