Monitor Filter Change Intervals
 
Be sure to monitor your filter change interval. Premature plugging is usually a sign of a problem that merits further investigation. This may be caused by airborne dust from nearby construction or a prolonged dry spell raising atmospheric dust levels. Whatever the source of dirt, the root cause should be investigated, and the seals or breathers may need to be serviced or upgraded. In certain cases, the problem may be associated with a change in the performance of the filter from your supplier. Extremely long filter life is as much of a concern as too short of a life.

Controlling Foam in Oil
 
From "Automotive Lubricants and Testing":

The polar nature of engine oil additives gives rise to their foam-stabilizing properties. The splashing action or the mechanical agitation, or both, of the crankcase oil during engine operation causes air and other vapors to be whipped around, resulting in foam generation. In extreme cases, the oil actually can be lost because of the foam. The entrainment of the air in the oil can also decrease the ability of the oil to provide an effective hydrodynamic lubricating film because of the air bubbles that compromise the integrity of the film.
