I've always been using castrol magnatec 20w-40w and i just changed the oil and switch to mobil 1 15w-50 but noticed every morning I was having erratic idles after I changed the oil...Do you guys think these are connected?

Vacuum leak (something knocked off during the change)

Oil fill cap not seated (kind of a vacuum leak but on the PCV side)

Electrical connection tweaked
