Bubbles in oil

[gregk24]

After getting home from a 40 mi drive I checked my oil level and there were little bubbles on the dipstick, Its a honda 2.4 engine and i filled it up with 5 quarts of oil, The level is just above the full line on the dipstick. Are these little bubbles normal?

Usually bubbles are from airation. If it is on the full mark, I wouldn't worry. If it's above the full mark drain oil until it is on the full mark.
My opinion: NO NOT NORMAL

Absolutely normal. I've never owned an engine (from American V-8s to small Briggs single cylinders) that didn't have little bubbles in the oil on the dipstick if checked immediately after shutdown. After 5-10 minutes, the bubbles should go away.

Small bubbles are fine IMO. Foam = BAD!

Just noticed the car involved here. Change that pcv valve with an oem one soon esp if it's the original. Use an oem one. Usually, the internal spring breaks around 60k miles. Post #30:

One of the guys that works on these cars for a living mentioned what I said above.
