Anyone experience this? i did a search on it in google but only found people with air bubbles in their oil IN the engine (like on their dipstick), and not while oil is still in the bottle. while you are pouring it out.


I think i was the Mobile 1 Clean 5000 or the Mobile 1 Super 5000, either way... it said 5000 on it and it was a mobile 1, 5-30 weight in the silver and red colors on the sticker. I got it on sale at autozone and it came with a free stp oil filter. so i said what the hell.. and bought it.

Am I ok with this oil? I have never seen an oil with air bubbles in it before... and it was out of those 5 quart jugs.. I been driving like 30 miles or so on the car already.. seems kinda ok..

 

not sure if serious.

 

close the lid on a qt then shake the shit out of it, post back if its got bubbles...

 

its already in the car...

 

Its fine lol. Its just air.. Its not like no air is in the bottom end of your engine anyways.

 

I'm with Sol on this one.. Serious?

 

man.. from googling the only related things i can find is leaks or water in oil.. but thats with with the dipstick.. not like before you put the oil in your car.. which is where i saw it.. before i put the oil in the car.

Idk.. perhaps i got a bad batch of Mobile 1 5000 oil..

 

Ok, just got off the phone with a buddy of mine. He said this sometimes will happen and to be safe you should probably drain the oil from your engine and replace the oil filter. Go to your local auto part store and ask to open the bottle of oil to inspect for bubbles before purchase. If can put the old oil back into the bottle you should be able to return for a full refund due to it being a bad batch. They will only refund the full amount if you can prove there were bubbles. Hopefully you get this done before too much damage has been caused. The worst that has happened has been a blown head gasket and it's much easier to do drain the oil then have to explain to the Honda tech how you went ahead and used bubbly oil despite the fact that it was bubbly and probably should not have been used. Good luck!

 

i think its too late... i been driving on it for 2 days or so now..

it looks kinda common on many car forums but no one really knows the answers.. hopefully my car won't die..

the oil was opened in one ofthose 5+ jugs.. and because our fits only use 3.8 i used about half the jug, and used an outside quart oil bottle to measure, so i measure out 3.8 quarts pretty much exactly when i change my oil.

next time i'll just buy 1 quart bottles.. instead of the 5 jug.. because iam thinking the oil absorbed the moisture and created bubbles in the oil.. hopefully it will dissipate with me driving around.

 

 

 

Damn hippies. They did this! They screwwwed things up so young generations have no idea how do anything basic. In light of this event I'm now going to burn several tires in my back yard and then feed old oil into duck pond

 

Shake said car

 

Classic! Someone should sticky this so the question won't be... Oh never mind.

 

This is yours, because you are my hero for the next week.

 

Dude, the oil didn't absorb the moisture. It reverts back that the old "oil and water" idiom. They are messing with you. Drive and be merry my friend!

 

nothing wrong at all with that oil, it's perfectly normal.

 

Holy paranoid batman! OP, do yourself a favor, never buy an older German car. You'd tear your hair out from all the possible things that could go wrong!

 

It's special Champagne Oil. They usually charge more for it.
