anybody person can help out him?.... look like you need to go have check it out in the local even is really expensive.. are you man sure it not the oil burning process?????? that the oil smell like. 700rpm is the idle regular. but dont be scare you dont be scare.

Ok enough special english.
My advice for you my brother is that just wait a couple of days. It might just be thge oil burning when you had it changed. It always happened to me, everytime i spill oil on the engine block during oil change.

well i dont know...i dont see nothing smell like burning..but my friends said..it smell like rubber burning or smell like dry engine with not enought oil in it...and also yea.the smell it is smell like rubber or something..idk...when they change the oil they use the oil gun...not just pour it in.......but it only smell when the hot air blown out of the engine....but after that is gone..

smell like dry engine with not enought oil in it...

that has more of a sound, less of a smell....probably just dripped oil in there and its burning off....thats why its only when your engines hot

Uhh the reason it wouldn't make the smell after a cold start is because, the uh, engine is cold. It takes time for things to heat up ya know??

I say it's oil burning off the engine......

well how to make so sure about it, and my uncle check the level of oil..it stilll clean and still full...."just did oil change yesterday" , so yea, well what do you mean " oil burning off the engine ". you got the point there about the cold start, but it also only smell when the fan turn on or kick in after the fan turn off and all i can smell left is the coolant smell, which is normal
