All of the plugs had an even coating of oil around the threads. It wasn't old oil either - it was wet and light. It didn't appear burned or otherwise troublesome.

Honestly, I've never pulled plugs out of boxer before so when I saw the oil I figured "Ok, probably normal when the plug is horizontol in the cylinder."

If the threads should be dry, then that's something for consideration.
