Dip stick oil level
 
Just noticed that my oil dip stick is about almost half a inch above the grated area where your oil level is supposed to be. Is this too much, will it cause the foam oil problem?

Forgot to mention its a 1998 z28 ls1

Just doing some research on the internet and thought I would add that the engine was not at running temp when I checked this. It had been sitting for a hour and it was pretty cold outside.

I will check again tommorow after the engine is heated up.

woh,,, do you always talk to yourself? lol. yep and you gave good advice to. check oil after shutting it off and see what it reads.

^ ...But not right after shutting it off, as oil will still be clinging to internal parts. Let it settle for a couple of minutes.
