Oil does faom I don't care what you believe.
If oil didn't foam why would all manufacturers of engine oil add foam inhibitor additives to their oil? While they do have foam inhibitors all oil is designed to work in a certain environment and that includes how much the crank thrashes the oil.
If you don't believe me about the foam inhibitor here's a few quotes from around the place that took a good 3 minutes to find, as I'd rather be well informed rather than take the piss out of people who are here to share a little knowledge.
• Foam inhibitors: The crankshaft whipping through the oil in the pan causes foaming. Oil foam is not as effective a lubricant as a full-liquid stream, so the inhibitors are used to cause the foam bubbles to collapse.
From http://popularmechanics.com/automotive/auto_techno logy/2002/8/motor_oil/index4.phtml
And some problems from foamed oil
pump cavitation,
spongy, erratic operation of hydraulics,
loss of precision control; vibrations,
oil oxidation,
component wear due to reduced lubricant viscosity,
equipment shut down when low oil pressure switches trip,
micro-dieseling due to the ignition of the bubble sheath at the high temperatures generated by compressed air bubbles,
safety problems in turbines if overspeed devices do not react quickly enough and
loss of head in centrifugal pumps.
