I changed my oil today and drove the truck about 30 miles, i got out of the truck before it shut down and noticed the exhaust smelled really wierd, like it was very sweet. I had changed my oil with rottela t heavy duty oil but it did not say on the front that it was diesel oil. On the back it said it was good for most heavy duty diesel engines including Cummins and CAT. When i took i oil filler cap off the engine it smelled like it was sweet, almost like biodiesel. Did i use the wrong oil and should i be worried???

The truck runs good without any noticable differance so ill just keep an eye on my guages. Im glad im not the only one putting it in my truck. I got it for 11 bucks a gallon at Wally World, i like the price, how often you change your oil?

Thats a good one:hehe: Ive put about 200 miles on the truck since the oil change and it seems to be smelling less, i guess its just getting used to my engine. Or that its telling me i dont have enough horsepower:lol4:
