How do you know there is oil frothing? Can you see it?
If I fill it to the mid point between max and min on the stick
both my 83 and 84 would make lifter noise something like
once a week even if I drove them alternately every other day.
But when I top up to the max they both become good boys.
That's an obvious difference over a decade now.
