Re: Foam on the dipstick...

The foam is normal. It is caused by condensation in the crankcase on these cold days. If you drive the car at least 12 miles or 30 minutes it usually burns off and you won't see the white stuff but if you only make short trips it is likely going to happen. Don't worry about it unless the oil turns milky otherwise just change the oil frequently and keep on driving.
