When the oil was changed, did anyone reset the oil life monitor? It needs to be reset every time an oil change is done. That would explain why it is telling you to change the oil so soon.If you have a bad head gasket, antifreeze mixes with your oil. Check the oil on the dipstick. Does it look normal? Check under the cap where you pour the oil into the engine. Is the oil cap wet on the bottom? If yes, and the oil on the dipstick does not look normal, the head gasket is defective. It most likely would leak where the thermostat is located, since the gasket seal was taken out and replaced with a new one. It may not have been done correctly. There may be a puncture in a hose. There could be a crack in the coolant reservoir tank. The thermostat must be stuck in the open position or the thermostat was installed backwards for it to take that long to heat up. Refill the coolant reservoir tank with antifreeze and water before driving the car to avoid severe engine damage.

The ABS sensor is dirty or defective. The wire that attaches to the ABS sensor has a loose connection or the wire broke off. It could also be a worn wheel bearing. It is important. When you hit a deep puddle of water with one or more tires, the speed of rotation slows down a lot. The sensor detects this in a one sixtieth of one second to apply the brakes only on the wheels that are spinning faster to prevent the car from swerving and losing control of your car. It can apply the brakes much faster than people. The system maintains proper rotation for each wheel independently from the other wheels. It can apply the brakes to one or more wheels out of four to keep the car going in a straight path. Some ABS sensors are in the hub, so you have to replace the hub assembly with the ABS sensor. You cannot just replace the ABS sensor only if it is in the hub assembly.
