If you are driving around for a while (temp at normal) and if you nail it up to 8k in second gear and just let go of the gas (while the windows are open) do you smell oil?

and does the back of your car(mostly bumper) get dark soot?

 

no
yes, but once it rains it looks fine

 

Dark suit? No.
Burning oil? Not usully, though sometimes when I'm going up a hill and it's at high rpm floored for a littel bit, I do...

 

by no means alot just a small scent of burnt oil and soot.

 

crap on the bumper=normal as far as i'm concerned

rob- oof

 

yes and yes, but the smell isnt that noticable and it doesnt happen everytime or anything like that, only if i havent driven tha car in a couple of days and then the first time i take it into vtec i will smell a little somehting. As far as the black goes the soot will show up very well on our PY, its just from running rich in vtec, no biggie

 

no.

I sometimes smell a little oil when I've been on the roadcourse for quite sometime, but other than that, my ITR is golden.

 

i dont get the smell but i do get the black soot on the rear of my bumper if i dont wash it for a few weeks.

 

is it just me or is the back of the bumper, mostly on top get dirty real fast? i never knew why this was but almost everyone i know that i've talked to says teh same thing.

 

Yup, dust loves to gather there for some reason.

 

Yea, I hate that! It happens so fast!

 

Oil smell? No.

Soot on rear bumper? Yes.

 

Same when I used to have my itr.

 

black bumper --------yes

 

Thats why I have NBP.....

 

But it's a nice feeling to wipe it in one go with a wet cloth

 

Seems like the rear bumper gets dirty the quickest. Dark soot is from running rich/VTEC. I usually see it above my big fart can/APEXi N1 tip..

B2 you don't have your R anymore??

 

No soot, no oil smell.

 

I never noticed it before, so it must be something new. alltho its not much just enough to catch my attention that one night.

I do add oil very frequently but I just changed to Valvoline (sp?) and its used less so far in the two weeks of driving / Drove half as much as used to for some reason...

With the mobile1 I was adding 1/2 to 3/4 evry 1k miles and nothing yet with this stuff but now I smell it

Could it be Mobile1 does not smell when burnt?
