i would like to know how would i go abouts getting rid of the oil in the sparkplugs? because when i took out the brand new plugs dipped with oil, any suggestions?

clean out the oil every month. the problem is probably with the valve covers gaskets. They tend to leak and oil collects in the sparkplug wells. It may cost a alot to have fixed.

sounds like you have a valve cover gasket leak.. the quick fix would be to get some paper towel and soak up the oil every week, but I highly recommend you change gaskets.. if we're talking about only changing the front gaskets.. then it shouldn't take too long to change.. i'd say an hour or an hour and a half at most.. OR.. you could take your car to the dealers.. and they'll charge you and arm and a leg.. nuff said...

Don't you have to use a torque wrench when you put the valve covers back on? If so what it the amount of torque that you use. I have the same problem.

I just checked my plugs the other day and I seem to have the same problem..(oil on the tip of the plugs) I dont know how long it has been like this for, can this cause any damage or hurt performance? do you know what it would cost to have it fixed..roughly? thanx

I believe there is an online shop manual on mx3.com which should have the torque values.
