I looked for an answer and didn't find one so here is my Question. Checking the oil level- run engine till at operating temp- let idle at least 1 minute (it says 30 seconds on the tank)- turn off engine- remove dipstick notice oil is full of bubbles not foam just bubbles, wipe stick notice oil level is dropping fast in tank , quickly check level is ok , is the bubble and level dropping normal?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
air bubbles in engine oil

Which year/model & engine would help, altho generally, LOTS of bubbles in the oil is not a great sign... :dontknow:

Normal for the 998 engine. As mentioned above. Dry sump pumps suck a lot of air with the oil. Wait for just a minute and the bubbles will be gone.

Some oils foam more than others. Generally, it isn't a big problem. The only place foam will hurt you is if it happens between 2 moving surfaces. Air does not lubricate at all and you'll get scuffing and wear.
BRP uses Castrol products. They are known to foam more then most. Just a characteristic of that product. If you use the BRP (Castrol) oil, you will need to wait longer for the foam to dissipate as it will give you a reading higher on the dip stick than it should be. If you are using another product. You may not notice any foaming at all.
