Foamy Oil!?

Foamy Oil!?
Heyyyy everyone!
Like the title says, I've been noticing my oil is slightly foamy.
I first noticed it last oil change when the oil was coming out, thought no big deal must be bad oil.
Well, I went to check my oil level today and when I pulled out the dipstick with the car fully warm it had some foamy oil on it, it has tons of little bubbles in it.

That just looks like the bubbles you get from oil draining into the pan. How has your oil pressure been? If you are sucking air in I would expect the pressure to be lower since the air is more compressible than the oil. Have you tried driving longer periods to see if it clears up?

I've noticed my oil pressure gauge has been reporting 40+ for most of the time barely dipping into high 30s at a stop light (automatic).
But, I do have new oil and will take a picture of it today or tomorrow after running it to operating temps.
