Foam in the oil

I checked my oil today when I got gas. Normally I don't even chk the oil between oil chgs but I didn't add the entire 5th qt when I chged the oil last week. The level was down about 1/4 qt so I added a little. When I removed the oil cap to add I found foam in the cap and at the top of the add tube. Should I be concerned?

 

Drive a lot of short distances? If so it's normal

 

It's normal.

Keep an eye on your coolant level, if it drops you have a problem!

 

ThAt goes without saying but is completely unrelated to foaming oil.

If you're suggesting a bad HG you're way off.

 

I guess you have more info than OP posted

 

I didn't know that. My commute is only 10 miles.
To the other member who asked about my antifreeze. Never had to add to it.

 

Very common with short commutes. Truck doesn't stay at operating temp long enough to burn off the foam shit so it just sits in the cap. Happened to my truck on a 14 mile commute. Went away after I started doing 30 mile commutes!

 

The creamy 'foam' at the top is condensation.

 

Thanks

 

Same general method of production as mayonnaise or meringue. No worries.

 

Yeh. Basic automotive knowledge.
I've got tons of the stuff.

 

Here we go.

 

A taste of the basics.

Intake, Compression, Power and Exhaust.

Ok, where's my ASE certificate?

 

Here ya go sir.

 

Thank you.

 

Had the same scare myself and the folks here set me straight. Funny I've never seen it on any vehicle before, but the cap is right in line with the timing chain so maybe that has something to do with it. You can see a pic of mine in my album.
