Oil Burning Like Smell in Cabin

5K miles on 2019 1.5T EX and I am getting what seems to be an oil burning smell through the vents once warmed up and stopped in traffic. If moving there is no smell...only when driving very slow or idling. No oil leaks that I can see. When I checked the oil it does not smell right...smells strong like there could be gas in the oil. In some ways it almost smells like it could be coming through the breather system...but if stuck in traffic for awhile it starts to give me a headache. Car is always highway driven so no short trips. Oil level is fine.

Any other things to check?

Re: Oil Burning Like Smell in Cabin

This Honda 1.5L Turbo engine has oil dilution issues especially in cold weather basically gas is getting into your oil. There is no permanent fix at the moment. The only work around is to use a higher grade fuel, oil and change your oil more frequently or get an engine tune which might void your warranty.
