I have a 2016 ford fusion 2.0, the oil has always smelt like gas with soot on the exhaust pipes. The engine has always run fine with no performance issues. After 60,000 miles and trying different oils I've settled on running cheap oil meeting the latest specs and changing it often (sometimes as low as 4,000 miles) I'm currently running Valvoline daily protection 10w30 and a fram filter.
