Default Re: Hot or oil burning smell while driving

On new vehicles the paints used on engine components and exhausts smell like this for a little while, also the engine casings and cylinderhead bolts are all smeared with grease during assembly. The heat of the engine creats a smell as this stuff is dissipated, usually goes after 5K or so. You can allways drive by the dealership to get it checked if you are concerend.
