A exhaust or warm oil smell when standing still
I have a very uncool smell when my car stands still or drive slow.
I have checked exhaust for leaks and rinsed the aircondition.
It helps when I turn on the resirculation button makeing the air circulate just internal in the car.
Numner two is that the heater are not really that effective when it is below
-50F....
Any suggestions?

Did it happen after an oil change?
The filter is mounted over exhaust pipe. With engine cold, examine the filter and exhaust right below it.
The next option is to crawl under and look for leak. Alternative is to take it to shop which has a lift.
