![]() A more moderate temp startup (60s-70s) is around 1800rpm. On the coldest days this past January, I think I saw mine right at or maybe even a bit over 2k RPM when started and in park. It should drop down to a more normal idle RPM as soon as you you put it into any gear since it expects you will be opening the throttle very soon, and therefore raising the RPMs during driving. I live dangerously but have been lucky in life so far. Turns out I also had a badly busted rear wheel bearing. I did that for over 4500 miles last May on a long trip, stopping every 100-200 miles to top off oil and coolant. Mixing cold with hot coolant in the overflow bottle then pouring it into the radiator would allow me to immediately refill without cracking the radiator. ![]() The temp gauge would then wander all over the place as the themostat opened and closed constantly trying to prevent an overheat. Then it wanted to overheat all the time due to a bad head gasket (at the very least) due to it fairly heavily consuming coolant (but, not mixing with oil) and running low. It couldn't get up to full operating temp until I replaced the thermostat. The Geo Metro I had prior to the Vibe had that happen as a result of a bad overheat from a leaking radiator I didn't know about. Mostly that happens when people remove their thermostat removed to "fix" overheating problems, or a thermostat is stuck open from a past overheating. Running too cold can be just as hard on an engine as too hot. There is a manual transmission oil capacity of 4.9 quarts 493 liters in the. In the 2004 Pontiac vibe, there is an automatic transmission oil capacity of 7.7 quarts (7.29 liters). It runs at a higher RPM to warm itself up faster depending on how cold it is out. The engine oil capacity of a 2005 Pontiak Vibe is classified into two categories: engine oil capacity of 3.8 quarts and transmission oil capacity of 3.6 quarts. Get a free detailed estimate for a transmission fluid change in your area from KBB. It's warming up when you first start it up. The average price of a 2004 Pontiac Vibe transmission fluid change can vary depending on location. I sent a certified letter to the president of Toyota Motor Corp. We had to replace our five-speed manual transmission on our 2004 Toyota Matrix at 98,000 miles at a cost of 3,100 Models besides the 2004 are also affected, but I don't know which ones. But then, after driving it briefly the idle rpm drops to around 1,000. I would think this applies to Vibe owners also.
