As the car is an automatic it has no clutch, yet it appears to be slipping on a local steep hill when the engine's still cold. The oil has been replaced. When the accelerator is pressed the engine revs, but car doesn't move any faster.

Automatic has several clutches internal and would say forward clutch pack is slipping either worn clutch dics or hydraulic pressure drop
