oil on the spark plug thread Pic's yes I did a search. I didn't find the answer I wanted.
I did a spark plug change and found oil on the spark plug threads only on cylinder #7. This is the second time Ive changed the spark plugs and oil was there the other time (4000miles ago). I would like to know if it is my PCV valve causing it?
and this is a pic of the intake
so is this enough oil it get oil on the spark plug threads?
I do not consume oil at all and if I do its not noticeable
Thank You
Joe

I get some oil on the plug threads too on #7 and I think #2 as well. I've never really given it much thought because there is never any oil on the electrode or anywhere on the tip of the plug, just on the threads.
Also, my motor consumes 0 amount of oil. It does get oil in the intake through the PCV but I don't let that concern me as it's not enough to cause any noticeable consumption issues.

- No oil to be found on the electrode, only minor amounts on the threads of 2 or 3 cylinders.
- My motor consumes no measureable amount of oil between changes.
- I have no misfire conditions.
- Motor runs/idles fine.
So I guess you could say that it's not so much that it's "ok" to find this condition, but since I don't see any ill side effects after many years, it's just not worth worrying about.
