well i have bubbles in my oil when i check the oil right after shutting it off..but if i check it 2 or 3 minutes after shutting it off they are gone...there is no coolant loss or white smoke.no bubbles in coolant.is this just normal frothing of the oil as it moves around the motor...should i be too worried its rotella changed 2000 miles ago...it looks pretty black but not milky or chocolatey at all....just wondering if the bubbles right a few seconds after shutting it off could be normal because i have none of the other symptoms?

 

First time I've heard of this.

I don't remember any bubbles though...

 

mine does the same ever since I've owned my 95. Done it for about a year and no problems

 

sweet thanks for replying..i needed another opinion because i have never really checked my oil right a few seconds after shutting off and got worried..

 

Yeah, mine has a few bubbles in it right after shutdown too. A friend's old Ford 6.9 had hella bubbles in his.

I don't think it's anything to worry about . . . unless of course you have other issues.

Take care,

Its just from pressurizing the crankcase and the oil splashing around.

Take a quart of oil and shake it up, youll get bubbles.

 

The brand of oil is probably a contributing factor. When oils foam up and trap air they lose their effectiveness. A higher quality oil will be less prone to trapping air.

 

Is your oil level correct? If it is too high, it will hit rotating parts and cause overheating, aeration and other problems.
