Hey guys, not sure if I'm the only one with the problem but for the past few days, my engine seems to be idling really low. Normally the car idles at 800 RPMs but I've been idling at 600 RPM's lately. I notice because the car vibrates more so than it would if it idled at 800 RPM.
Two days ago I changed the oil on my Civic with Mobil1 0W-20 oil, like the car recommends. I also added a K&N oil filter during the process. I doubt this is the cause as to why the car idles so low. I've linked the oil below.
It has been getting colder where I live, though not that cold (45 degrees Fahrenheit).
Is there a computer problem with the car? A mechanical issue? Should I take it to the dealership and have them check it out?
Thanks for any responses.
