Keyless Ignition Start?

Hi

I have the keyless entry with start button , since ive had my car back from the ford garage ive noticed on a few attempts to start the car it has taken a few more turnovers until the engine has started. It was fine before it went in for a oil change/filter change and display reset as it had a oil service message.

On some attempts it starts as it should after just a few turnovers but I did have a few occasions yesterday where it would take a little longer.

Is it something to worry about or could it be because of the oil change and just needs a bit of a run in so to speak?

thanks

    mine has been taking a little longer on the cold mornings, but nothing major... See how it goes and if it gets worse or your still worried, get it looked at.
