Shortly afterwards, I smelled a kind of burnt plastic/rubber smell coming from the engine. Has anyone else experienced this/ know what it could be? I have about 800 miles on my car and it is a 6MT.

Thanks
It's some kind of engine preservative that Nissan puts on to prevent rust when shipping across the pacific it goes away after about 1500 miles or so.
I garage my car and when I got it thought the same thing it is a weird odor i have about 12000 miles smell is long gone
