Just did the first oil change on the 06. Right at 3000 miles. Put the Rotella T 15/40 and a Wix filter. Now I have this terrible oil smell while running, comes in thru the fresh air vent and can also smell it while standing outside the truck when idleing.

Not leaks or anything. Thought maybe I had spilled some onthe exhaust or something but nothing. Pulled the dipstick and took a whiff, and it is definately the same smell. Where and why could the smell be coming out of the crankcase.

Don't mean to sound ignorant, but this is my first diesel. Please help!

Thanks

 

That's the Rosmella The Delo and others won't do it. I still use Rotella in mine but it do stink.

 

The smell is normal. I actually enjoy it!
it normally lasts a week or two.

 

Yup, I run Delo! No stinky.
