Can someone read these spark plugs?

dreamspeed · 10-05-2017, 11:31 PM

Can some of you knowledgeable folk take a look at my spark plugs and let me know how they look? Any issues?

The spark plugs from cylinder 2 and 3 had the most oil on them, the rest looked dry. Thanks

~32k miles on these spark plugs, my guess is that there is carbon fouling due to my horrendous stop and go commute in LA traffic everyday...?

Normal

Looks better than mine with similar mileage. Nothing concerning about em

Normal, but I would have guessed they had far more miles on them than 32k. As you said, stop and go. = More hours of operation than would be normally equate to those miles.

Sort of hard to tell as they are all rotated a bit. Would be easier to read if you line them up.
