im goin to guess that your car is a 4 cyl car correct? they way the are set up if your not careful there is a flexible exhaust pipe thats right under the oil filter that can fill with oil and burn as u drive and it will take a few days of driving to get rid of it...like somone else said thats walmart for u...we just replaced a oil pan on a 06 civic because they stripped it out! not the first one we have seen!

I am guessing the mechanic got oil or something on your interrior. I would air the car out or look for a smudge on the seats

They spilled oil on exhaust pipe. It should go away... eventually. Just in case, check oil level - make sure they did not overfilled it.

Honda's smell like oil after an oil change if they are sloppy when changing and don't clean off the spilled oil afterwords, they may even drip old oil on your driveway for a couple of days.
