Where are you seeing these bubbles? It could be the oil just sloshing around causing this. If you really want to get rid of this, buy a baffle plate for your oil pan. They run for about $30-50 bux if I remember correctly. Mazdatrix sells them. Do a search here and you'll find alot of info about these.
