engine whine after 1st oil change??

got my oil changed at south coast this morning..

right off the lot i hear a slight whine in the lower rpm range in 2/3/4 gears

can't hear it with radio on but with radio off i can hear it around 2k-3.5k range.. very slight but definitely new

is this because of the new oil in the turbo?? its not a leak sound but more of a mechanical whine

make sure the goobers did not drain your TC fluids by mistake.
sometimes they have grease monkeys in there

i know of a goober down here in the mitsu dealer that tough he filled the SUV and not once but twice he did the same mistake to a customers car. RETAD

if they drained the tc fluid wouldn't they notice the engine oil overflowing?? since they must have left the engine oil in there..

and this is south coast.. this is like a dealership that only deals evos.. i think they know their evos enough to not **** up that bad

i dont feel like driving back there.. 40 miles.. was wondering if its normal to have a whine.. its very slight and only in that rpm range.. almost sounds like the whine you get from a bad ground in a car stereo system

No it's not. And 40 miles is worth not having your car blow up. But who knows that's just my .02 cents.

From what I understand we will have a slight whine in our transmission especially in 1st and 3rd.
