Rotella....No more Smella?

I just got my oil changed yesterday with the new Rotella formula. I ran it all day long and never noticed the smell.

I always smelled it before but honestly can't remember if it took a day or two for the smell to be obvious.

I actually like the smell and would be disappointed if it's not there anymore.

Seems conditions or the oil has a effect on smell.Other oils smell also.Amsoil 15w40 has smelled on me and other times nothing.Temps? Wind? additives?

I have also noticed this as the last two oil changes there has been almost no smell. My truck used to have the Rosmella 'aroma' for about three days after an oil change, but there it is - gonella.
