I don't think that it is really a big problem, you lose a little oil. My mom's car runs fine, same no smoke or anything. The thing is that my mom's car is like 55k miles.

Hey guys, I have one more question about this.....how do you get the oil out of the hole? I'm assuming you wouldnt want to remove the old spark plug until all the oil was removed so it didn't go all the way to the bottom....that can't be good. [:'(]

Thanks!

nah u can just take it out. the oil will run into the cylinder but no harm done. i would wait until it cools down to put a new plug in tho. putting plugs in when its hot can mess up yer threads.

I put a paper towel down there, i dunno how good of an idea that is. If the towel ends up in the cylinder, it mite be a problem but i didn't take the spark plug out.
