    I'm kinda thinking it is normal. With good compression numbers like that, there shouldn't be excessive blow-by. Used oil has always smelled a bit like fuel to me. You could send it off for an oil analysis. They'll tell you how much contamination is in it and how much life it had left.

    called royal purple. they said they have a sufler-based additive that gives the oil a rich-burning smell. and they said cause it was leaking on my exhaust that it was making the smell worse. royal purple FTL!!!
