Re: RPM fluctuations
The other problem I have , and I think it is related to the RPM fluctuation, the car used to start and stay on high RPM ( around 1200 RPM) for few min till it worm up them the RPM go back to the normal idle level (around 900 RPM). But now when it is very cold the car starts on lower RPM around 950 RPM. I have to leave it running like that for few sec, turn the engine off then turn it on again may be I have to do that twice to get the car pick up the high RPM to worm up. I know it might be a very simple issue and I should not worry about it but I am just wondering if there is any explanation.

Re: RPM fluctuations
This is NORMAL. It's because the transmission fluid is stone cold in the morning, once it heats up, no problem.
The master technican at Crosby's (I used to go there - Kevin's knowledge is drawdropping) had let me know.

Re: RPM fluctuations
Did he tell you if you should change the transmission oil to fix this problem or not.? Because the car wasn’t like that when it was new.

Re: RPM fluctuations
Nope, it's normal and is not an issue. Perhaps as the oil gets older (with more contaminants), the issue gets worse, but certainly I was told it's nothing to worry about. I'll still change my tranny fluid at 100k though, but that's just me
