Air conditioner
So then I have the windows closed and the Ac on it smells like burning oil. I have changed the cabin filter no help. Also when I turn off the recirculating on it helps. So I was reading another thread about using a catch can. Will this solve the issue? Also where is the catch cam placement on a c6? Thanks in advance

If you have a burning oil smell inside the car, it means you have oil burning somewhere under the hood. You need to find out where it's leaking from and fix it. A catch can won't resolve this issue.

Have you changed oil lately? I recently smelled burning oil and was beginning to think the worst. Then I read of a similar problem here on the forum--seems a common issue for some after an oil change. I never did locate the spill and source. Maybe spilled oil on the cats or elsewhere? Mine went away fairly soon, but next time I will wipe down the area a little better. Hope it is that simple for you.

But OP also needs to make sure he looks around for a "real cause" such as oil dripping on exhaust, burned wire, etc.

Thanks guys, I have not changed the oil I will be doing it this weekend so we will see. I have sniffed around the engine after a drive and I don’t smell it in the engine compartment?
