BUBBLES in TRANSMISSION FLUID

[stdrxw12]

2007 Camry LE 4cyl 60,000 miles

I noticed there is about tiny 6-8 bubbles on my transmission dipstick. It is not overfilled. A drain an fill was done at toyota about 5k miles ago because the transmission drain plug was leaking.

Is the bubbles something I should be concerned about?

Thanks All

I seen those in my oil before after some harsh high rpms..but they went away after an oil change, not sure what caused it, either high rpms or something else.

No it is nothing to worry about. The fluid has anti-foaming additives blended in but the additives are not flawless, this phenomenon has occured on almost every ATF dipstick i have ever checked. Things to worry about when checking ATF fluid, fluid level too high or too low (note the operating temperature is very important on checking fluid level), major discoloration, alot of black dirt on the dipstick (transmission band material), and a burnt smell (yes, i smell my ATF - usually when no one is looking though).
