Hello folks,

I just got oil changed 2 weeks ago. Since then this sound has been heard occasionally, at least 10 times so far from front right of the engine. Usually, its heard only after the car is started and backing up. Can anyone tell me what this could be, and has any connection to oil change?

Thanks in advance.

Almost sounds like belt squeal.
Are you turning the wheel when it makes the noise? I wouldn't think its related to the oil change, unless they got oil on your belts or something.

Thanks PapaSmurf,

Even if there is an oil spill on the belt, I wouldn't know.
What happens if I don't address it? I have almost 100k on the odometer and will be trading this one within a year or two. With tight money, don't want to spend unless it's a must.
