Lil bastard had very good points here....if you are concerned, take it to a reputable mechanic to "read" the plugs. Reading plugs is an art not a science.....IMO if the car is running well....dont make a problem out of nothing....could be diametric(sp) oil...could be alot of things...


should have said diametric(sp) grease not oil...must have been the 3rd Coors...

I think you mean dielectric grease - this is used to insulate ignition parts from moisture such as a distributor cap or spark plug caps, it is a grease which conducts electricity.

Diametric grease sounds like it was invented by L. Ron Hubbard and something Tom Cruise or John Travolta might use...
