I bought her recently but did not check the motor oil.:oops: Today I found that the motor oil smells gazoline (but not under the hood). Any idea? :roll:

Drain it and check to see if it is thinned out.
Drain and recheck in 500 to 1000 miles.
And don't forget to refill it. :D

I meant the oil smells like a mixture of oil and gas. As far as I know this is not normal. By the way, exhaust gases smell gas as well (on cold and hot engineI. :-?
