    Bosch Spark Plugs

    Hey guys I bought Bosch Plantinum +2 Spark Plugs cylinder 4 complete oil fouled the plug after a month, should I put in a different spark plugs in because it didn't do that when I had normal plugs in? But I know an engine rebuild is on it's way.
    Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    If the plug is getting oil fouled, it will make no difference what kind of plug you put in. Its either worn piston rings, valve guide seals..etc.
    But no other kind of plug will stop oil fouling.

        A hotter plug may help from fouling so quickly until the rebuild.

                If my car didn't burn oil in cylinder 5 the spark plug wouldn't have fouled, so i don't see anything wrong with platinum plugs.

                  seriously, the car will run better on copper plugs, fouling or not

                        I prefer NGK plugs. The e30s single coil ignition system cant keep up with platinum/iridium plugs. The oem reccomendation of a copper plug is designated for a good reason. You should replace your valve stem oil seals.
