    I noticed some bubles when I change the engine oil. Is this normal?

    Thanks

    How many "bubles"?

    If there were lots of bubbles. then your oil was way low and it had foamed,
    which is very bad. Or maybe somebody dumped a can of Coke in your oil pan.

    More info on the exact circumstances, please.

    The oil level is fine. I didn't count the bubbles but I would guess
    hundreds.

    it's been over filled, no? when there's too much oil in the oil pan,
    it'll be beaten by the crankshaft and turns into a foam. trust the dip
    stick, not the haynes manuals. they are often clueless about your
    car's oil pan capacity and your oil filter size.

    foam is mostly air, it reduces oil pressure, which may cause the oil
    lamp to come on, which may cause you to add more oil, which definitely
    will cause more foam.
    and since foam is mostly air... and so on
