This evening I decided to replace my spark plugs. While it's miraculous all 8 came out in one piece after 100k miles, they all were fairly covered in oil. Ive never lost too much oil between oil changes and I've always used mobil 1. One spark plug even had dirt on the sleeve of the electrode. Any suggestions on parts that may be bad? Could it be a bad pcv valve? Or should I consider a valve job?

I imagine that after 100,000 miles and never changed, quite a bit of fluids and such worked its way past the COP boots and worked their way down your threads.

here you go,,,,,they look ok to me,(the tip of the spark plugs are clean) you just need to replace them, and while you are it why not have a look at valve cover gasket, maybe you have a small leak there

Nothing wrong w/ those plugs
Maybe run sea foam w/ your next fill-up.

Your fine. I had oil and dirt on mine after 33k. Now mine had a p1sc on it and most was from the cop.

Thanks guys. I guess I was a bit paranoid considering the last set I pulled was on my wife's car and only had 30k on them. They were spotless by comparison.
