It sounds like your battery is going on you.

Your battery is going very soon, your lucky it actually turned on. You might not be so lucky tomorrow or the next day.

i believe he is talking about the way it sounds. I dont think anyone is dumb enough to believe an oil change is going to fix a dying battery. any way to get better sound quality, or sound from under the hood?

The way it sounds is his battery no longer being able to hold enough charge to smoothly turn the car on meaning its going to turn over slowly until it doesnt turn over at all. OP if you dont believe me give your car a boost from somebody else's car, after getting the boost turn the car off and then turn it back on and you will notice it will turn on fast (normal) because your battery has just recieved charge off of another battery (temporary). Then once that charge is gone the car will turn over slowww again as it is doing now. It has nothing at all to do with your oil change.
