When I trouble shot a foam issue on one of our 850s, I found that the foam in the dipstick tube was very persistent.

There is a good chance that the foam was there before the oil change - did you check the oil level BEFORE the change?

When I tried to clean out the tube, I had to use several long pieces of chenille - a pipe cleaner type material used in crafting decorations.

I did get the tube clean and after several medium-length trips, the foam did not return. After a good number of short trips, the foam did return.

I think the problem was caused by the dipstick on the 5 cylinder engine being in front of the engine and does not heat up in cold weather.
