Hmm, looks about right. You should premix.

They don't look bad though, the coloring is right and I have found that plugs don't last much longer than 20k anyway so i just change them once a year. what are you using as premix?

Hmm, I've never been a fan of FP+. Your pics are kind of blurry but here are my plugs from last year when I replaced it. You can see the oil on the threads which i presume to be from the 1oz per gallon of premix i was running at the time.

Puts my plugs to shame in my other post.


But yeah, my motor was deemed toast after that pic. That and I was consuming a quart or so every 300-500 miles.
