Default Increase in L/100km after oil change

Hey guys, i have a '14 is 350 f sport with about 85000 kms on it i recently got an oil change done at lexus and ever since then ive noticed an increase in my gas milage im getting about 15L/100kms. I have a K & N filter i put in a month ago i was getting good milage with it up until the oil change. Ive cleaned out the maf sensor and im about to clean the throttle body too, any other suggestions as to how i can bring down the milage? Thanks in advance

fill tires with higher psi and drive easier.

Hi, have you checked the engine oil level? Maybe they put more than needed?
