Normal... change more often so the oil gods can milk the dinosaur.

Maybe too much oil was in the engine? If so, that would be bad for the engine.

^^ Likely most of it. As oil degrades and picks up carbon, it foams easier. So immediately after being poured it can have bubbles. Likely done on warm engine too.

What brand of oil, how many miles, and how is the car used?
