1. yes, it will be 'okay'. Most fans will use synthetic and change often. Turbos have coked up and failed at 60-90k in the past with conventional oil.
2. PT's seem to be hard on brakes. Many have reported 15-20k repairs. You seem to be VERY easy on yours.
3. Due to the weight and profile of PTs, the milage is another common complaint. Yours isn't out of line.
4. The PCM controls the idle, so this is something that shouldn't happen. You didn't mention temps, but I'd guess 30-50. If you allow the engine to stabilize before shifting and this still happens, check for TSBs and PCM updates. Is there another dealer within reasonable distance?
