Default Burning plasticky, oil smell after shutting car off. My B6 S4 had a similar smell when it was..

brand new but wore of at about 300-400 miles. I'm at 850 miles now and I still have it pretty strong after vigorous highway driving. It kind of smells like it's burning oil but my level is fine. I know it's probably just some sealant or grease from the factory burning off but it seems to be lasting a long time. Anyone else have this?

Default Excess anti-corrosion wax in some of the cavities. A film will remain behind though,

to protect the car.
