smell of synthetic oil

I just bought a used 502 magnum with supposedly synthetic oil in it. I smells almost like gas?Does synthetic oil smell different than petroleumbased oil?

yes for sure but not ,,not like gas !!! change it if its thin or smells like gas

Is it possible for the oil to get contaminated with gas? It is a 1999 502 MPI, all stock, with 50 hours on it.
