2018 F350

I have a 2018 F350 diesel tow vehicle. Since it was brand new in March I have put 13K miles on it. Every 400-500 miles when I stop I can smell a little bit of oil burning. There is no noticeable oil usage, just the smell. I have had it in to the dealer once for this and they found nothing. I been over the engine and exhaust from top to bottom and have never found any oil leakage.

Any suggestion?

    I would agree that this is most likely regen smell, if you shut-down when the truck is in the middle of regen there is always a smell present outside the vehicle.

    ultravilot dye added to the oil and a black light can be your friend :)
