Burning smell
 

I get a burning smell from my engine when I drive the car hard. When I accelerate while getting onto the highway or just take off fast I can smell it. As soon as the rpm's drop the smell goes away instantly. I have a 2013 AT. Anyone have this issue?

When was the last time you changed your oil?
Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

I would say its the cam plate but you have an auto...

Mine does this too

Oil was changed 2k miles ago. The car is stock except for a drop in K&N air filter.

Any clue what is causing it?

Probably burning oil like most cars do when they are pushed hard? :iono:

Its just an auto thing

Its normal for engines to smell when hot. No idea what exactly it is but its nothing to worry about.

might be mines auto too lol

I occasionally get that too after some spirited driving.
Goes away after a minute or so.
