Hello everyone.
I have an 06 with 83K.
I love this machine and will buy another.
After idling for a few minutes (at operating temp) I notice a very minor burning oil smell, such as when you drip a little on the exhaust manifold or pipe.
It doesn't leak or burn oil.
Do you suppose it could have an internal pinhole leak in the turbo?
Has anyone experienced this minor problem?
Thank you in advance fellas.
Tino.

 

Just a guess, but maybe you have a small exhaust manifold leak at cold start. The leak then seals when everything gets hot.

Check the gaskets between the exhaust manifold and block. Look for soot where it leaks.

 

What oil are you using?

 

Shell Rotella T6 5w40 synthetic.

 

That's your problem. Rosmella. Never used the syn Rotella but the Dino oil stinks. First time I used it thought I had a valve cover leak or something.

 

Thank you very much everyone.
Tino.
