After a longer drive it can barely be smelt but in the mornings after it’s been sat overnight it’s slightly stronger.
I’ve been monitoring the oil level over past couple weeks and it’s dropped very slightly from oil being burned so it isn’t rising.
I’ve been told by someone else that has this that it’s just because of colder weather now in the UK. I do also get a bit of Mayo from condensation.
Can anyone see comfirm a smelly oil cap?
Cheers

When I've checked my oil I've often thought it smelt a bit "petroly"Yeah I’ve seen quite a few people saying this. It’s nothing like opening my filler cap and smelling that

The irony being Direct Injection engines are supposed to be efficient, lean burn blah blah..... :grin:
I've owned carburettor cars, port injection cars, DI cars, diesel cars...... they all do exactly the same thing to the oil, in spite of all the EU emissions BS! The advancements in fuel delivery have been so minor vs the massive amount of tech required to achieve slightly more efficiency than a carburettor :grin:
