Oil smells of veg fumes, time to change?
#1
Reading this (I know it's for TDis but still):
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.caldow/Elsbett/oil.htm
I was wondering I can't do their tests (or more to the point I can't tell the result of them) but one thing I can say for certain is that my engine oil does smell of veg fumes. I changed it in October so it's not due for a change yet but I've decided to change it anyway to be on the safe side. I have also noticed small bubbles in the oil on the dipstick which I am not sure is a sign of anything or not. Just wanted some expert advice on the matter. Thanks in advance!

Edit: These are the results of the "blotting test" as detailed in the article:

Not sure I can make heads or tales of that TBH! Although I did rub some oil between my fingers and it did feel slightly tacky rather than slippery like oil should feel.
