When I'm driving there is a sound that comes out and EP is displayed and oil service, but I recently had my car serviced and new oil put it. It's making a raving sound and the accelerator is sort of stiff.

The "EP" (Electronic Program) light typically indicates an issue with the electronic throttle control system or powertrain management. I would go over this guide which we show you how to get the codes so we can pinpoint the problem.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response.
