I suspect my car is running way to hot, but the temp gauge is in the middel.
The temperature outside can be between 34 and 45 degree C in the summer.
I am using NGK BKR6E-11 spark plugs that is a colder plug. for my nissan Almera N16 2001 Hatch. QG18de motor.
I removed the plugs today (only 3000km's with new pistons and plugs), and what a shock... Oil on the plugs. Please take a look at my spark plugs...

What could cause this? Do I have to change my plugs? My service manual and Workshop manual for the same car, use different sparkplugs - or different gap size 0.8
For the full history, folow this threat...
