Hi

I just replaced the plugs with H9DCO thanks krjt! I had platinum ones installed.

The car is burning alot of oil. I drove the car alot in the last two weeks and it seems like I am consuming around 1.75 quarts in about 500 miles. This is a rough estimate based on watching it every few days.

Attached are some pictures of the plugs I removed. From left to right they are 6 5 4 3 2 1. One side of the plug was discolored a bit and the other side was mostly white, this is on all the plugs. I took two photos after rotating the plugs 180 degrees.

With burning large amounts of oil I thought they would be worse. I believe the goo above the threads is from the anti seize that I applied when I installed them.

Please share any comments as to the plugs appearance.

Plugs 6 and 4 have a maroon, or red wine type tint to them.

Thanks
