Why Do I have Little Air Bubbles on Oil Dipstick????
When I was checking my oil today I noticed that it would have tiny little air bubbles on the dipstick when the car is running. I checked it another time and got the same thing. Let the car cool down right now checked it with the car off, no bobbles. Then started the car and checked it while running little bubbles were back. I HAVE NO LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE. Car seems to run just as strong as ever.

Don't check the oil with the car running.

I use full synthetic oil. My last oil change was like 1000 miles ago. However I had used seafoam the previous 500 miles before the oil change. If you don't know what seafoam is it celans out all of the carbon deposits. I put 8 oz of seafoam into my crankcase.

yeah.. any oil level reading off the dipstick while its hot is irrelevant... the oil hasnt seeped down from the valvetrain yet... let it cool first

A little bit of bubbles as you describe is not abnormal.

Mountain Dew doesn't belong in the crankcase. (I learned the hard way. :eek: :D )
