Hello,
We went to the Subaru dealer for our first oil change. After the car was washed and returned to us, as I drove off their lot and a few blocks later I noticed a burnt smell.
This is also the same burnt smell we noticed when we took delivery of the car in December. Basically the car came directly from transit to the dealer and we were the first drivers of the car in Dec. Service manager in Dec said it was normal as new cars from the factory will have that smell for the first 10-20 miles of driving.
Question: Have others also experienced this burnt smell after their first oil change?
Is that smell (or any smell) normal after an oil change?
We never experienced anything like this with our other cars, all of which were Toyotas though.
Appreciate any opinions and ideas.
