Bill,
I would be willing to bet the problem is with the transmission and has
nothing to do with the engine oil being changed. It sounds like a
valve is sticking in the transmission and allowing fluid to go where
it shouldn't. As soon as the transmission builds pressure the valve
snapps into place. Or it is hitting the park mechanical lock in the
trans. It may be solved by flushing and refilling the transmission and
could have been caused by the shop that did the oil change topping off
the trans fluid with the wrong type of fluid. Or I may be completly
wrong, It's hard to tell without seeing the car and I'm just assuming
that you have an automatic. Good luck
