Put car in for oil change, now runs hotter

Fellas,

I haven't had a chance to get back to the shop but wondered if you guys had any idea how this could happen

Car went in for new oil (AMG certified, same that I had previously). Came out and now if I'm in slow moving/stop start traffic, the temps go through the roof (like, 107-114 deg C). If I actually get some speed up, temps start dropping again back down to my normal 100-102 deg C.

My first thought is maybe an oil cooler fan has been disconnected. Is this even possible??

Cheers,
Dan

My engine temps tend to run a bit hotter for the first 1000 miles or so after an oil change. Then it goes back to normal.

Not sure if this is normal, but I just accepted that it is.
