air bubbles in oil
I just noticed a lot of tiny air bubbles in the oil on my dip stick. Not sure if they have always been there. Is this normal? Running Kendall 20/50. Car was warm and level. Oil level was fine. Thanks

Aeration is a characteristic of the scavange side of the oil system and as such is normal. That is one of the reasons the pressure side is better for cooling purposes, fewer bubbles better heat tranfer.

I run Kendall 20-50wt GT-1 as well, and find the little bubbles whenever I check the oil level. All is fine.
