Drained the oil from my Escort today, i noticed when it was new, and still now that the oil was very bubbly.
The oil i drained today was a 10w40 SL/CF A3/B3 semi synthetic, still had a fair bit of bubbles in it, the oil had only about 600 miles, 1000km on it, i drained it out because i was noticing a slight tap on hot idle it did not have on the HDEO i was using before.
I filled it up with Shell Rimula R4X, a API SL/ CI-7 / E-7 15w40 dino HDEO, absolutely not a bubble in sight, i mixed in about 30% of some Shell Helix 3 20w50 dino i had left over from my other car.
Is it normal that some oils are full of bubbles and others have absolutely none?
