The oil that lubes the supercharger gears is getting into the engine? It's not sealed?

I went to change the spark plugs to HKS range 10. My mechanic found some oil on the old spark plugs. Now I dont know if it from the SC oil or Engine oil.

Sounds unlikely that oil consumption from your sc is contaminmating your spark plugs. I've lost maybe half an oz. After about 8000 miles.

Any pics of what your plugs looked like? Here's mine after 16k non boosted miles and 5k boosted miles. Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1413472017.679434.jpg

Any oil in the intake tube? Could be blow by.

8686 · 10-16-2014, 07:44 PM

The intake tube is clean.
Here is a picture of spark plugs after 11k NA and 200 SC miles
I am using lucas octane booster for the last 5k miles as our pump gas is worse than 91
I installed dual catch can setup and will inspect the plugs after couple of hundred miles.

If you've been using octane booster for 5,000 miles then I think we've solved the mystery of the fouled plugs. I would ditch the octane booster! Where do you live? As long as you aren't having knock with the fuel that is available to you I wouldn't worry too much.

8686 · 10-17-2014, 02:56 AM

I used the octane booster because my car was knocking. I live in Saudi Arabia. So I have to limit the use of the octane booster?

That's a pickle. I really don't think octane boosters are meant for continued use, but fouled plugs are better than knock.

Why is your fuel so bad? Just doesn't make sense especially being the US receives a lot of oil from Saudi Arabia. Correct? You would think you would have the best fuel. Learn something new every day.

refining technology is old. We need to import some new technologies from the US and some corn juice.

most of our oil is imported from Canada. not the middle east where most people believe. actually we get more oil from latin america than middle east.
