First change I use pennzoil platinum but a few people recommended mobil 1 so I switched. After the change, when idling, there's a strong gas smell in the cabin. If I change the a/c to inside cabin recirculation the smell goes away.

Some googling says this is normal for some oils and will go away after ~500 miles...

Anyone have a similar experience?

Open question:

Does anyone know whether there is some kind of vent (maybe over-pressure release) on the fuel system?

There is no open atmosphere vent on the fuel system. All vapors have to recirculate or the SES light will illuminate, like leaving the

fuel cap loose...

I changed to Mobil 1 at about 1,300 miles; now have about 2,000 miles and have not had that problem.

My first oil change was to mobil 1....never had that happen.

Many of us had the gas smell before. I don't believe its ever been tied to an oil change though. Probably coincidence.
