Still have warranty on it? I'd let the Dodge boys look at it.

An oil smell is common for the first 300 miles or so after an oil change with some brands of oil. Did you recently change the oil?

Chill out bud,



What you are smelling is the oil breather, these new trucks have a canister to catch the oil, and that is just the excess gas from it. Oneday it will overflow and leak oil out of the overflow tube, unless you drain it every now and then.....

Well hopefully the smell is not coming from the blow by tube like mine. Start it and take off the oil filler cap and see if you have blow by in the crank case. See any white smoke or feel air pressure mimicking rpm level.

It is the oiled filter, I got the intake for free so, no complaints
