My 1993 Ford Thunderbird I noticed when checking the oil directly after use, I noticed a few tiny air bubbles on the end of the dipstick. When I would re-insert the dipstick, and pull it out a 2nd time, there would be fewer bubbles, and the 3rd time I would insert the dipstick, and pull out again, there would be no air bubbles. The oil smells normal, is the correct color, isn't foamy, and the radiator has no oil in it. Also, there is no condisation on the inside of the filler cap. Am I overeracting, or should I be concered?

the bubbles are nothing to worry about, just stired up oil. if you have lucus oil stabilizer in it it will really bubble. dont worry about it.
