Default Froth in Oil

I just checked my oil level and when I checked the stick there was a small amount of white froth on the stick. It disappears quickly on your fingers, but it made me nervous. I changed the oil back in October and have only about three hours on that tank. It doesn't appear like I'm losing any anit-freeze either. Anybody else have this occur? I used the Bombardier oil because I'm still under factory warranty until the end of March. By the way, it is an '03 Baja. Any replies would be appreciated.

Mine does that also. I'm not losing antifreeze and the oil looks fine. I think its just condensation that is in the oil resevoir. I only notice this in the winter when its cold. I took mine to the dealer and everything check out, so I don't worry about it any more.

This is normal, you only have to worry about it if your oil level is getting HIGHER. This means coolant is getting in your oil. This happend to me once but a water pump seal later I was rippin' it up.
