Default Burn smell when hard acceleration for 2 minutes

My DD 2013 135000 km when accelerating hard at 3 rpm I get this burn smell. I went to a mechanic and he said it’s there for all DD vehicles, and he recommended me to run at between 2 to 3 rpm if need to accelerating and he said to change the whole gasket it will be like 2300 USD

Woosh I am like what

can an someone tell me

If you have the Hemi, this is normal. Oil catch can will help some.

Look for oil on the engine parts. Is there a LOT of oil in any one location???. Do you see drips or small puddles on the ground when you park the car??

Should be easy enough to see where the oil is coming from if you have any weeps/leaks.

If you never drive the car hard, oil build up on certain parts could be normal to burn off when you get the car a little hotter after driving it more aggressively.
