Oil on Spark Plugs

Bring truck to Maryland you will be surprised how easy the fix is...

 

Haha! 4,600 miles round trip, 14mpg highway... makes sense. Let’s do it! where’s the sarcasm button

 

So I just pick up some plugs from Toyota. All but 1 look good. I'm returning the one that Toyota gave me for one that doesn't look like it was bent. As you can see, the one of the left is a bit weird looking. Sure I could check the gap to make sure it's. 040 but I'm good.

 

Also, 3 spark plugs are covered with what looks like fresh oil. The tips are gray so that's good. I'll check later to see if the engine is burning oil but the exhaust doesn't smell like it and there no smoke.

I'd replace the VCG, but seeing how I'm deploying soon...I'd rather spend time with the family and deal with it when I return.

 

The coilpacks where in excellent condition. One was a bit brown but not too crazy.

Some silicone spray and dielectric grease went on to/into the coilpacks.
