As I don't think they have Mr Lube in the States, I'm waiting for the jokes to fly!

No Mr. Lube in the States.
Really! Mr. Lube. I guess that's a Canadian thing.

Mr Lube is a franchise quick oil change place that will try to up sell you on everything imaginable. It was started by the same guy behind the Boston Pizza chain, based in Edmonton not Boston, go figure.
Both the lube outlet and pizza joints chains offer oil and grease based products.

And not necessarily the most honest or competent.
Imagine my surprise to discover that the old filter I installed was still on the engine after their complete oil service.
Going back again?
Ahhhh... no.

Here most mechanics don't use any lube at all...... 
Mr Lube sounds equivalent to Jiffy Lube.

Hi, as you changed the oil only 100miles ago I'd definitely check the oil filler cap...check its sealing correctly and forming a vacuum.
I had exactly the same thing on a Peugeot 207. I changed the oil and a day or so later the engine management light came on. Turns out the rubber seal inside the cap had split causing a leak. Once it was sorted the management light went out after a day or so - it only resets after its performed several cycles of no faults.
