Took my car into Keyes Lexus in LA yesterday for an oil change and tire rotation prior to heading cross country in a day or two. When I picked it up I noticed that the idle was rough when in gear. I was on a tight schedule and didn't have time to take it back right then. I am thinking that maybe when they washed the car they got something wet that might be causing this???
I will check the car today and see if it's stil there. Irritating to go in for something as simple as oil and tire rotation, and leave with a problem.

Also check to be sure they didn't leave a hose or something disconnected.
But before you go on a trip with it, I'd get it resolved. You could conceivably screw something up otherwise ...

I had rough idle after I changed the engine oil to 0W40, and I felt it quite noticeably in the gear stick and steering wheel.
I switched to 5W30 and the car has been acting normally for 2K miles so far.

seemed to gradually get less noticeable, and since refueling again, sometimes I think there may still be a trace of it, sometimes it seems fine.
