Hi Guys,
Can anyone explain the effect of excessive foaming of motor oils in Gas Engines?
Thanks in advance,

Foaming is a common problem with oil-lubricated components. It can be difficult to troubleshoot, and for this reason, accurate testing to determine the root cause of the foaming is essential.
Make sure you address the root of the problem before conducting the drain and flush. For particle and water contamination, concentrate on managing contaminant ingress as far as possible before resorting to filtration. This is particularly important with gear oils where fine filtration can strip the additive from the fluid.
