A little problem!

On the oil (that i changed yesterday) the only reason why i changed it is because it seemed to be changed. Driving i saw the oil red light Luminate. but as you drive for a while the red light goes off .WIERD! ok next day i start the car & the same thing happen. but after you drive the car for a while it goes off. Drive hard and it goes back on. Dont know why this is but i changed the oil and did everything right.

2nd is everytime when im driving somewhere i slow down for lights (normal) but once i hold on the clutch to shift down the car revs like 8 times (to 2000rpm). even if your normal driving and hold the clutch again it revs for a short amount of time then stops! whats the deal!

It's the oil level sensor which mounts to the driver's side of the oil pan. You actually filled your oil 7cm above the full mark? On piston engines that's a BAD thing because having the cranksaft below the oil level will cause oil foaming. I'm not sure what the risks are for overfilling the oil in a rotary engine but I don't think it's worth finding out.

The engine computer will do that when it's try to learn to set the idle. You may have a vacuum leak or maybe your clutch switch isn't working.
