2005 civic LX 4dr smell
2005 civic LX 4 door
I get that dirty oil smell at seemingly random times.
I usually have the fan blowing forward and feet.
Vents open.
Is the smell coming from the engine into the vents into the cabin?
Or is it from outside, like a swamp or fast food?

You're probably just smelling odors coming in from outside of the vehicle. You know, as in traffic. Someone burning a little oil?
Sometimes catalytic converters can put off quite a stink.

Re: 2005 civic LX 4dr smell
do what they all suggested and if those dont work.. take it to a detail place and have the inside shampoo'd and engine clean
with my own carelessness, i spilled some oil down my the engine. It took months for the smell of burning oil due to the heat of the engine to disappear.
