Re: Air bubbles in Oil (Trench)
is it over filled?
when it's over filled it will start foaming and you will see bubbles. having to much oil is just as bad as not having enough.

Re: Air bubbles in Oil (non-VTEC)
Check your oil level. Make sure that it is not over filled. What happens when you over fill it is the cranck sloshes throuhg the oil in the pan and causes air bubbles. This is bad cause when ther are air bubbles on the bearings, the bearing arnt being completley lubricated and can come is direct contact with other metal aparts (bad).

No, its not over filled. I checked the oil about two weeks ago(before yesterday) and it was low(just below the bottom circle after 2500 miles) so I added a half quart. I'm running synthetic.

If you take a lot of short trips you may have water in the oil. Check the oil level and if its ok take the car for a 20-30 minute drive perferably on the highway. That should let anything burn off.

Water in the oil from what. I am not losing any coolant from the cooling system and when I touch the dipstick the oil loses the air. There is no water in the oil. I deliver pizza so there is alot of stop and go driving.

the PVC system takes out junk (including water). When you take only short drives, the PVC system doesn't get to fully clean the oil, since it sends only a little junk from the oil at a time (you don't want to run on junk, right).
