Bubbles in Oil???!

Alright,

Definitely concerned. Dipstick has bubbles on it; it's definitely not water. Running Redline 5W30. Thoughts anyone? I didn't tighten the oil filter very tightly, but to the point of resistance. Is this another "normal" thing for the G?

Thanks in advanced ALL,
Eric

How much oil did you put in? What does the level read on the dipstick?

Technically I think the filter is supposed to be tightened to the point of resistance plus 2/3rds of a turn. But I seriously doubt that's your problem. Was this just once or does it show every time you take out the dipstick?

How long did you let it sit before checking the oil? Was it really hot when you checked it?
