Oil is mixed with the fuel in a two cycle allowing proper amount of oil into the cylinder for lubrication, which is where the gas to oil ratio becomes so important to two cycle engines. Four stoke engine have no oil in the fuel for lube, they have an internal lube system. Some engines have oil pumps, others have slinger type systems. Has the oil is moving around in the engine in lands on the cylinder walls giving them lube. The oil ring is in place to insure only a small amount of oil is left in place for proper lubrication, as the piston goes up and down.

98 Dodge Neon won't start and plugs had oil on them?

I am not a professional mechanic but i think that you might have blown rings on the pistons that have oil on the spark plugs. what is probably happening is the rings are bad so, you are not getting good if any compression in the cylinders and the oil on the plugs is probably from a bad oil control ring also on the pistons and the oil is getting past the pistons onto the plugs.
