Oil on the bottom part of a spark plug typically indicates an engine issue, such as worn piston rings, valve seals, or a damaged cylinder head gasket. This allows oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to incomplete combustion and potential engine performance problems. It can result in fouled spark plugs, reduced efficiency, and increased emissions. Addressing the underlying cause is essential to prevent further engine damage.
