We change the oil, and after a couple miles the car starts overheating. So, I think the overheating has something to see with the oil change. The car was fine, and I did a checkup in December. I would like to know what can cause car overheating after oil change before all call the company.

Thank you for your help.

when I check it this morning, there is smoke that comes out (bottom of the engine)
You can take a look at the videos. Thank you

Yep, stop driving the car, it looks like the oil filter seal is bad or they left the oil filter seal on the engine when they installed the new filter which is causing a major oil leak. I would tow it to a shop or remove the oil filter and check the seal out. Thanks for the video, it helps us see what's wrong. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.
