Does the spark plug with oil have to be changed or just cleaned off? That wasn’t mentioned.

[@enzopianelli6081]

I saw a clever BMW tech on a video take a sprayer out of a bottle like Windex and put the sprayer suction tube tip into the spark plug hole and he squeezed the trigger repeatedly until he drained all the oil out into a rag. Because the tip of the suction tube is small enough to go around the spark plug and take out all the oil there’s less oil at the bottom of the hole when you finally remove the spark plug. I hope this helps you guys.

[@domanicgilbert5812]

Legend I have been looking for ways to do this I need to replace my gasket on a ford transit and all 4 glow plugs are full of oil

[@buckct147]

I actually did that before it worked great 👍

[@buckct147]

Domanic Gilbert just get a spray bottle from the dollar store,all you’re gonna need is the sprayer part,even though you could use the bottle itself as the collection container or even a disposable cup,for the removed fluid.

[@isidraordaz2094]

Wow you guys are smart I would’ve never thought of this, unfortunately I used the same sprayer of windex trying to reach in the spark plug holes and I had no luck. Do you guys know of any spray bottles that have a long tube? Thank you

[@startingtech3900]

What I did is attach a vaccum line to a vaccum hose tape it off and the tube can reach all the way down and suck out all the oil w my shop vac

Thanks you guys thought my motor was toast! I got a 2000 nissan maxima se and one on back of motor near the passenger side and it was full of oil! Never seen that before except when I had a blown head on my altima one time and realized oil was flooding it after a wreck but this one just started doing it and never ran it hot or anything got almost 400,000 miles and still running fine and now all I need is valve cover so thank you guys!

It depends what kind of car your working on, just fixed my 2006 toy tundra v6 it had a misfiring plug because it was covered with oil, only did one side, passenger side is easier than drivers.

[@jeromebarry1741]

This is an excellent video about oil in the spark plug well. My car is 18 years old with original spark plugs in it. I found oil in most of my 6 spark plug wells. If found the threads of spark plugs from cylinders 2 and 4 soaked in oil. I have droplets of oil splattered on the underside of the hood and on the upper side of all the surfaces in the engine bay on the left side of the engine bay, where cylinders 2 and 4 of my V-6 exist. It appears that enough time had passed to oil and penetrate the threads and loosen the plugs enough that compression could force oil out past the spark plugs in a spray mist. My engine died 3 weeks ago, and oil in the spark plug wells is not my only problem.

[@salehalqahtani5544]

Thanks!

[@AutoRepairGuys]

Welcome!

[@garethpurdy6964]

One further point after doing this a few times on Ford Fiestas ,do not bother just draining the oil out as a temporary fix ,always replace the gasket seal and then the spark plugs and most importantly replace the spark plug leads because once they are coated in oil for a while they become soft as the oil rots the material thus causing them to arc out etc .Gasket seal ,Gasket sealer ,plugs and plug leads ,petrol or white spirit to clean the rocker cover once off the engine and brake cleaner to clean the engine head oh and a nice little scraper to remove any old gasket sealer .2 hours should do you nicely but remember to let the sealer set for a while before starting the car up .Sealer is required at each end of the rocker cover over the curved part .

[@dennispfeifer7788]

My elderly tenant was told she "Needs Engine". I asked what was wrong with the engine? That was all the information she had "Needs Engine" and it will cost $5,000. It won't start now and was misfiring before it quit...I decided to compression test it and went to remove the spark plugs and look at them and see it they had that nice tan color or not...I found oil in the spark plug holes exactly like this and when I took the plugs out, they looked filed out or points looked to be very dirty...I'm not sure if this will solve her starting problem but I'd give it a 80% chance...Her batt was down so could not do compression test...it needs 155-180 psi to be in speck per GM. I hate to see people get bent over...now, engine may have a problem, but we will see if I can get it started. Thanks for the good video, I had no idea why there should be oil in the spark plug hole. I'm not a mechanic, but know if you have compression, fuel, air, and spark the damn thing will run if timing is correct...you just have to hunt down any other problems after you get it running. It has exactly 100,487 miles on it and is a Buick Regal with the Ecotec 2.0L engine. On most cars these days that is not a lot of miles. I found out by accident the coil will pop apart and there is a mini fuse link inside of it and will test all 4 for continuity...just thought I throw that in, because I never in my life saw anything like it. The top of the coil will pull out of the rubber base and they you will see a miniature little fuse. Unbelievable when it fell out into my hand, I tested it and it tested good, now need to check the other 3. I don't think those mechanics even attempted to do a compression test...engine sounds quite and smooth when attempting to start it...I tried it a few weeks ago...her batt is dying because I had charged it two weeks about and it's now down again...she is going to need a new one. Watch out for Firestone and Goodyear throwing out some sweetner to get you into their shop like a $19.95 oil change...then, when they get you into their shops, they put the damdest sales pitch on you for what all was found wrong when they were changing the oil with the front end...;I swear they had me about convinced so I took it to another shop I knew who were trust worthy...Nothing wrong found! lol The Firestone man was such a good actor he would surpass most in Hollywood. Goodyear tried to get my dad like that back in 1970...my dad was too damn smart for them...lol

[@bozzy7946]

I always heard a tiny bit of brake clean before you start taking out the plug will help, and then when you get the plug out you do a very quick spray, not to soak but to go with the left over leaked oil to prevent it from filming so that it burns off more easily.

[@conormcgregor5460]

The best way to clean those spark plug wells is to use a shop vacuum. Put duct tape on the end of the vacuum and then pop a small hole in the duct tape. Get a long drinking straw from McDonald's and stick the straw in the duct tape hole .just a little so it is attached to the tape and vacuum. Then turn on the vacuum and point the straw down in the spark plug wells and start sucking up the oil and other debris. I also use that method to clean other small areas and inside the intake ports and valves

[@terrakoat]

Can you use that method to remove the oil that leaked into the piston?

[@conormcgregor5460]

@@terrakoat let's say you remove the intake manifold (I'm not talking about the (air intake filter box) I'm talking about the intake mani. So with the intake mani off 'the valves will be the only thing visible in those open ports that you will be able to get to for the most part. Also when you turn off your motor some valves will be slightly open and some valves will be closed . You will definitely be able to clean out some debris in the exhaust valves and the combustion port but even on the open valves however your engine stopped on the rotation you might be able to reach the straw down a little. if you get oil out from down under the open valves above the piston well I won't know, only you will know when you do the job, so while you suck just visibly watch the straw and see what you have getting sucked up. If you can get a clear straw you will definitely be able to get a good look at what your results are. Most likely you will get dry chunks of debris like I get when I do it to my cars or my friends cars. the straw might clog up a bit' just pinch it and it should break up the dried gunky debris and suck into your vacuum. As far as your piston area you would honestly have to take the valve covers off the intake off the exhaust manifold bolts off the motor and then remove the head to do piston cleaning with the motor block exposed and visible. What kind of car do you have and what engine? Honestly if I were you I would just remove your intake mani and vacuum out the exhaust valve ports and then run a bottle of fuel system and engine cleaner that you pour into your gasoline tank to finish off the job to help burn off the rest of the residues left over while driving

[@conormcgregor5460]

@@terrakoat if you had oil in the spark plug wells like in this KZbin video we are commenting on, and you removed the spark plugs and accidentally spilled it down the spark plug well area the oil will travel thru that combustion chamber, around your exhaust valves the ports above your piston heads. The amount of oil is definitely negligible and not enough to really cause any alarm I would try to suck up what you can get either thru the hole where the spark plugs were that you removed and also remove the intake mani if you want to really clean up some junk. But if you didn't spill oil down there and there is oil in the combustion chamber/ exhaust valve ports you definitely shouldn't have amounts of oil down there so you may have bigger problems if you have oil flowing above your piston heads right below the engines combustion point. That should all be dry naturally
