My key will not turn and this has never happened before. I recently went to the dealer and got an oil chance. Could it be possible that they might have messed something up with my ignition while changing the oil? It is weird because I just bought this car and it is so new.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

I feel confident that changing the oil did not do anything to the key.

If you have a spare key, try it. Also, take a look through this link:

If a different key does not work and nothing in the link works, the tumbler may need replaced.

Let me know if any of that helps.
