I have a 2016 ecoboost premium convertible. I am having a smell of oil coming through the AC vents when car is under heavy acceleration. It mainly happens when getting onto the highway. Does not matter if AC is on recirculate. My concern also could there be other fumes getting into the cabin that are not healthy. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I never smelled anything inside the cabin, but when I get out of the car after a hard pull/drive I do get a slight oily/rubbery smell.. I figured it's because I don't have a catch can or something..

Go get it checked. That and your a/c issue sound related.

The car only has 1500 miles. It has had the odor when accelerating and AC issue since I got the car. Has already been in the shop multiple times and they say it is normal. 35 years of driving and I have never had either of these problems.

I was getting that smell too in mine up until 4k miles. At that point I installed my UPR catch can, and haven't smelled it since.
