Engine is losing power after oil change.

So my Dad changed the oil on my car.

I trust him as he has done this for years, but now the engine losses power while driving. It will lose power at anything above 6k rpms and over 70 mphs which has me very concerned.

Will contact dealer asap.

Did he use 0W-20? Check the dip stick to make sure it wasn't overfilled with oil. Too much and the oil froths, which doesn't lubricate as well.
