I am also confused about "days that it burns oil". I didn't think that was an off and on thing.
Okay, first off, This is a different blend than my other oils, and when they burn from a leak it smells like wonderful asphalt... I love the smell of burning oil on pipes, I dont want it but the smell I love.
Second off, it was right after the change that I noticed the smell. And I cant say the blend cause of other issues.
As far as the days, what I mean is that it usually happens when I go real fast and do it all day or at least for several hard hours of peddddle pumping work. When I keep it under 80-85ish or just cruze without humping the peddddddle with my lead foot, then it wont burn.
And the days it burns it makes the smell, I dont have to look I know.
The smell kinda smells.... Hummm man I don't know.
It kinda smells like I want to say a Non-dino smell, like a, OOOhha, like a little like the smell of a new car, and salad bowl wrapping..
It has a very distinct smell not like something BURNT, but more of something like a SUPER HEAVY FUEL ADDITIVE that changes the tailpipe smell if you know what I mean,,, not like oil but more like a plastic VEGIE smell, almost like a "green" plastic or like a Hospital-ish...???-non asphalt smell. It almost has that smell but much more mild in the bottle.
This smell almost rests on the palate but without a horrible taste, but I almost think I can taste it... The first two or three days it gave me a headache, and maybe even more, the first few days seemed worse... I'll try to pin point the smell better. I never thought of anything other than a plastic-very light like oil-hospital-clean-vegie smell.
