Motor Mount?

so something just dawned on me...are the motor mounts oil filled? When the car is cold i have a slight shake in the car but it drives normal, acceleration/power is fine. However, after it warms up it seems to go away, I am thinking it could be the motor mount getting warm and the oil expanding?? Which means i probably need to get the mounts replaced. Thoughts?

And I would replace them. I did mine a year ago, and you'll be amazed how everything just feels smoother.

The motor mounts in the car are a **** poor design. I am surprised they don't break more often then they do.

My car had it changed once before I owned it by the original owner and once since I've owned it (2 years almost). The car has 44K miles on it.
One of the weakest points of this platform/model.
