ELF NFX smell

[Brigsy]

Random one but need a bit of reassurance.

Filled up the Trophys gearbox with elf nfx - first time ive used it and noted no cats piss smell like the old nfp/nfj. Im used to the smell of gear oil absolutely assaulting my nostrils but it hardly smelt of anything.

Is this normal or is It potentially snide? I used a verified seller but never say never i guess.

When I filled the gearbox on my track car I flushed it first and neither the OEM oil or the Fuchs had a bad smell TBH. Wonder if they have toned it down a but as I would guess it was an additive, so maybe its changed.

I've got some at home, i'll check later.

Don't remember it smelling too bad when i did the Megane last year.

Yeah when I used it on my Meg it didn't have quite the same horrid smell

Thanks all. Far too many snides about these days can never be too careful.

Bonus points for the use of “snides” not heard that for years, used to always use it when I was younger!

Didn’t notice any smell when I filled my box up last month.

Thought the same when I recently used some, but didn’t think anything of it as bought from KAM
