hi guys, just replace the motor oil in my 99 ctd, used Valvoline Blue 15W40, replaced the filter also. Now it smells a bit, never had any smell with the old oil, is that normal?
i can smeel it with the engine running only... No one leak..

I've always had a smell after an oil change. I used Delo 400 in the past before I started using Valvoline Blue. Both had an odor for a while after an oil change.

Yes, the smell does go away.
