So I live in the south bay of California, a place not known for our terrible and unbearable weather. That being said I have recently begun to find foam on the dipstick when I check the oil, looks white to tan in color. I have not had the car for that long, and I am not familiar with it as much as I would like, but I have been reading that this is not generally a problem.
When I take the car up to high temperature and then let it sit with the oil filler cap and the dipstick off it goes away and clears right up. Furthermore when I wipe off the dipstick and put it back in one or two times I don't find any on foam where the stick indicates oil level, only near the top. So I guess my question is really is this something that would concern me? It started happening a few days after I stopped driving it a lot every day, and about 3 weeks after an oil change from a Mazda dealership.
Thanks, anything helps.
