Just have my car serviced

[reway1628]

hi guys, few days ago i sent my car for service, suppose everything is normal but when the mechanic check on the spark plug he found that the head is dirty like some black oil stain on it. My mech said this could due to my cheap plug cable so i change the plug cable but he mentioned that if this still happens after my car have run for a while then it could be my engine have problem already... :frown: and the worst is to do an engine overhaul...
Have any of you face this problems before?? i really need all the sifus opinion here as i am still new to cars... pls help...

btw im driving a wira 1.5M...

how long have you used the plugs???

usually its about 10k or 20k or even 30k ... pending on the type of plugs u use.

but i very much doubt that just because there is some oily stuff on it means that u gotta top overhaul your engine...

when i replaced my plugs... i had that oily stains too... my mech didnt say anything.
maybe cause u looked curious then he try to con u ler... and u oso almost believed it...

i dont think its serious... go show some other mech... see what they have to say.

just my opion yah
