smell of oil after oil and filter change
« on: 29 October 2006, 17:06:38 »
I'm guessing this the old oil that spills down the engine casing when the old oil filter is removed?

No signs that my car is loosing oil.

Yes, the smell will be spilt oil from around sump and filter burning off. Should go after a decent run, unless there was loads...
