Just changed my plugs and these are the old ones.
The first two seemed fine but the other two you can see have quite a bit of oil on them.
Verdicts on these spark plugs?

The oil seems to be on the ends exposed to the outside only - i.e. not the ends inside the engine.
Possibly they're just the two nearest to the oil filler cap? (so when a bit has spilt in the past (during topup/oil change) its hit those plugs and not so much the others??)
If its the two at the tother end then lol
It's no suprise some oil has spilt in the past if the x-brace has been stubborn to come off

It's the two furthest from the filler cap . So I'm presuming it's just the main gasket that could do with a change

Re: Verdicts on these spark plugs?
Why are you running different plug types and brands together??
Re: Verdicts on these spark plugs?
I'm not , the previous owner did . I've just replaced all four with bosch plugs

Re: Verdicts on these spark plugs?
I wouldn't be worried about that. Now you have four matching plugs I wouldn't worry. Cant see where the oil has come from, but it's a tiny amount in the grander scheme of things. pop the new ones out in a couple of hundred miles or so and I suspect they will be spot on
