The important thing is engine oil. Synthetic or semi-synthetic of the proper viscosity and I like to have it fresh before the cold weather starts.

Yes it is. I looked it up, it's because it's PZEV, it idles at higher RPM(1800) at startup because it needs to heat up the catalytic converter so it can do its job. It heats up the engine faster in the process too. Once you put it in drive and drive around it idles at 800 rpm as usual.
I warm up the car for 10-15 minutes every morning.
