Default Foaming Issues with Brad Penn Oil..

For the last 4 years I've been having issues with Brad Penn oil foaming when the dip stick reads full.. I had to run it a quart low.. This is on two different motors.. The 454 would tick after pulling long hills if it wasn't a qt. low..

At the advice of a few local engine builders and 540rat, I switched to 5-30 Mobil 1 full synthetic.. What a difference!! My stock flat tappet 454 is quiet, the oil lamp doesn't stay on for a few seconds during cold start warm up and no lifter tick...

From what I've been lead to believe, cheap oils have wax in them that cause foaming..
