When I removed the plugs, they showed no signs of oil fouling, they looked completely normal. I have had cars that consume much less oil but will foul out plugs in short order. I'm not sure what to make of this.


The oil is being atomized in a sense in the intake runners. It's much different than a direct leak INTO the cylinder.
