I can’t speak for sure in those air temps, but mine will be 47-48 on cold start at 30-40 degrees with 15/40 oil.

food for thought.
I have noticed on a few 6.7's when it is cold and it takes forever to warm the truck, you will get smells from the exhaust or if someone is deleted with a modified CCV system.
now if you are a person that is newer to owning a Cummins, this exhaust smell could be what you are smelling. I would say plug in your truck at those temps, drive truck moderate when its that cold until you are up to operating temp. check for leaks of course, (this should be a normal thing)
put your vent on circulation.

No better friend, No better enemy.
Thanks for everyone’s input I SUPER appreciate it!!! I’ve not smelled the “fresh oil” since that night so I am chalking it up to a weird unexplained occurrence. My oil level is good, from what I am told, the PSI is good at both cold and warm status and I can’t see any leaks.
As for the exhaust smell, there is a definite difference than the fresh oil smell I had the other day...at lest with my truck. When cold, it blows a thick almost “smoky” white exhaust that smells for lack of a better word “caustic” and can burn the eyes if exposed to it. It only gets like this though when the temperature really drops....high -20’s to low -40’s range. Outside of that, the truck is cold but there is no real “smoke” billowing out.
I usually do plug it in when the temp get to -25 or worse but sometimes the electrical posts where I work are not always on or they have tripped a breaker somewhere.
What does the vent on circulation do? I’ve never hear if that. Usually I crank the heat and put it in the windshield to assist with clearing the ice. I also turn off the radio to help the batteries a little...one less draw in my mind?

The smoke is normal at first start for a deleted truck when the temps are that cold until it warms up.
The recirculating keeps outside fresh air from being pulled in.
Yes you will get a weird smell but that’s what diesels smell like that are deleted. That’s the way they use to smell back in the day before all this EPA crap was installed. It will also sometimes have an oil burning smell that your probably smelling.
I agree though just keep a lookout for an oil leak to make sure that’s not the culprit. Also check to make sure you don’t have any leaks in your exhaust that could be creeping up into your cab.
