HI all,

I have been advised to tune the engine so that the car runs @ 980 revs idle to maintain the engine sweet.
The problem I have now is that mine runs @ 1000rpm when cold, and then jumps to about 1300 when hot, after a while it comes back to about 970 and keeps there all along no problems.
Is this normal ?? If not, how can I sort this out ? I thought in changing the oil with some 0-30W fully synth but im a bit unsure,
Help will be very appreciated
