When in drive my car always feels like it's going to shut off. The RPM will go below 1000rpm starts to tremble then the needle goes a little above the 1 mark and it's ok. How do I increase the idle myself?

I also had an oil change, 13 days later the oil lamp came on and the car shut off, when I checked the dipstick there was NO OIL in the car. I never have oil stain in the driveway, where is the oil going?

Idle is controlled by IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Remove and clean.

If it is not leaking oil, it is burning it. Maybe they did not proberly fill the oil when it was changed.
ALWAYS check the oil level when you have oil changed.
