    Bubbles on Tranny Dipstick

    What do you guys make of these bubbles on my CVT dispstick? Noticed them today after changing the fluid and both filters at 70K miles. The fluid level checks OK at operating temperature and the transmission reacts fine as far as I can sense. The bubbles only show up when pulling the dipstick right after driving and disappear in about a couple of minutes after parking.

    ive also got these bubbles on my dipstick, i always assumed it was normal. The Cvt fluid just like engine oil comes with an anti foaming/bubbling additive chemical in it when its new. If the levels correct i wouldn't worry about it.
    please consider checking out my Mirage related youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6c...IEViRFw/videos

    What YouTube said, as long as you’re positive the fluid is at the proper level(at the proper temp) then I’d call it alright.
