whilst the oil change info is good it could be random and unrelated to the oil change, check for codes, look in the how to section for info on how to do it.

Have you tried clearing the codes, as they could be old stuff that has been fixed

Crank Angle Sensor probably (under $60 to replace). Did you take the lid off the plenum (under the "ecotec" plastic cover)? Be careful reusing the o-ring/rubber seal, as it might leak now, but with your main issue I'd say its your Crank Angle Sensor (aka "CAS")
