6.0 engine idle rpm

Just changed the oil in my 6.0 and I'm sitting here looking at my tuner and is telling me my idle rpms are about 770.

Before I changed my oil it idled around 750.

It's running fine, I was just wondering why it changed? More pressure to the injectors with the newer oil?

Neither is the correct idle spec for a 6.0, so if it's cold it's likely running fast because of that. You need to be up to operating temps of at least 190*f ECT/190*f EOT to get an accurate HPO reading.

You can't look at ICP alone, you have to compare to IPR%. You should be at either 580/22% or 620/22% hot idle.
