Why Do Toyota Cars Have Such a Strong Odor?

[VonJeremiah]

Toyota cars have a strong odor for the following reasons: Smell of engine oil and gasoline mixed combustion: The cause is engine oil entering the combustion chamber and participating in combustion. This smell is relatively rare, but it is usually unmistakable once detected. Since the ignition points of engine oil and gasoline are different, the engine oil cannot be fully compressed and burned in the cylinder. As a result, small particles of engine oil are expelled from the exhaust pipe, which is also known as blue smoke. Strong burnt odor: The cause is a burnt clutch plate or failure to release the handbrake. If you smell a peculiar non-metallic burnt odor while driving, it usually indicates that the car's clutch friction plate is burnt, too thin, or overheated. This burnt smell is often accompanied by a foul odor because the clutch plate is made of a composite material including rubber and asbestos. Unpleasant smell from the battery: The cause is electrolyte leakage or depletion. This phenomenon is more common in wet-cell batteries, as they rely on electrolyte to store and convert electrical energy. When the electrolyte leaks, it produces a pungent odor.
