Most likely the colder weather. I doubt it has anything to do with oil just a coincidence.

What was your oil level ? In any case it shouldn't be causing idle fluctuations unless there is something seriously wrong. I'm with starchland on this one the ECU is probably "re-learning" itself due to the temperature change.
