Default Bad Idling after oil Change?

I have changed my oil yesterday
and I just found out my RPM bounces back and forth for around 10 secs, then go back to normal
then everytime i stop for a redlight, it bounces again, and back to normal
it gets better as I drive longer

Would this caused by TOO MUCH Engine Oil??

I think I filled mine i bit too much

IT's a Sohc Greddy Turbo !

Thanks !

so if it's oil soaked, it will have oil around the plugs, right??

if it does, that means too much oil???

Do i need to replace new plugs then?

too much oil! just pull the dipstick and check the level. as long as the oil is between the 2 holes then you're all good. if the oil level is good then we probably need a little more info on what you did on your oil change. good luck

if you over filled it, here is what you do....instead of draining it all again....just get the oil pan under it again, loosen the drain plug, but very slightly loosen it. just barely, so it drips out slowly......then keep checking your level. Im sure you guys know this, but it will save you the hassle of draining it all.
