Oil Above the spark plug???
Discussion
I've never seen this before, I hope someone can explain whats happened.
While servicing the Honda HR-V I picked up a few weeks ago, just swapping the last spark plug. I noticed the socket came out caked in black oil! on pulling the spark plug out It was totally covered in oil. I say totaly, the electrode wasn't. So the oil must have been above the plug. The plug also wasn't very tight and was in poor condition. Like I say I've never seen or heard of this. Is there any way to ex2
plain how the oil got there. The car does burn a bit of oil, I swapped the oil and filter and went for a slightly thicker oil to see if that will help. The car runs fairly well and very quietly. 83k miles. it's the 1.6 vtec petrol.
