Changed engine oil. Engine now revs higher on warm starts.

I recently had my oil change from Motul 300v 5w40 to Kennol Endurance 5w40 (LL-01).

Started noticing that the engine revs slightly higher on warm starts.

Cold starts remain similar to when I was on 300v.

Has anyone experienced the same?

Should this be of concern?

Appreciate the input.

are you referring to initial rpm surge at warm start or when at stable idle after a warm start? How much higher is the RPM?

Do you have a Foxwell / Schwaben NT510 code scanner? It's about $150 USD. If you perform you own maintenance, having a code scanner nearby is always helpful. Check to see if there are any codes stored.
