Shake, vibration is felt most when driving at speeds around 50-60mph. I was told that new tires would stop the vibration and that a balance and alignment would help in the meantime. The balancing and rotating as well as having the car aligned have not helped at all. I dont think it has anything to do with tires. The oil smell cannot be explained, there are no leaks.
