I'm going to try out the 5w30 as the temperature rarely drops below thirty and frequently hits the low 60s during the day. Has anyone noticed this or once again am I just being overly paranoid?
2013 and mine does it from vents too. Its getting better. Smells like hot plastic. Noticed it more when it was 80 degrees last week now it back to upper 50 don't smell it too much
