Oil on plugs
Had a small show to go to today, I noticed some oil on my sparkplugs, Is this normal? The car does not smoke at all.
As Tom Sellick told Marston in the movie Quigley Down Under, I told you I dont have much use for handguns, I never said I didn't know how to use them!

Re: Oil on plugs
Oil on the outside of the plugs or inside around the electrode?

Re: Oil on plugs
Leaking around the threads or from the crimp of the base to porcelain? Its a mix of fuel & oil before combustion.
Threads can be sealed with a bit of anti seize. I prefer the conductive stuff. Mine is aluminum based.
There is a copper version also.
