Oil Level
For the last 25yrs or so been running my oil levels halfway beteen the two marks. Now for the last couple of oil changes I've been running it right around the bottom mark to see if I used less oil. Now when I ck the oil, I have a bunch of small bubbles in the oil thats on the dipstick, and if I continue to let it idle, then each time I insert/remove the dipstick the oil is a little higher and many more little bubbles. I just cannot remember if this is norma???? Getting old...

You may need to wait longer between inserting and removing the dipstick. Maybe that's causing the bubbles? I keep mine between the two marks you referenced.

Bubbles
Hi Jim. I give it time between cking, and it's also got bubbles first time I pull it out. I just brought the oil up just above mid-way today, so I'll drive more tomorrow and see if maybe it was just low in the tank. This is really strange...
