Hey bro. Are you getting oil burning smell when engine is super hot. You won't feel it until you stop in the parking? I did some research about this. Apparently all engines burn a small quantity of oil when it gets hot. But I don't see my engine oil level going low and it's full. Is that the case wit you. If so it's nothing to worry i believe.
