    Hey all, just changed my 2017 Prius' plugs today, with 108k on them. How do they look? I feel like the ceramic and electrodes look well worn, but the oily threads seem strange. I thought leaking valve cover gasket but, when I looked down the wells, they were dry as a bone. IMG_0298.jpeg IMG_0300.jpeg

    Maximum Electrode Gap for Used Spark Plug
    1.1 mm (0.0433 in.)
    Note

    Never attempt to adjust the electrode gap of a used spark plug.

    If the electrode gap is more than the maximum, replace the spark plug.

    Standard Electrode Gap for New Spark Plug
    0.8 to 0.9 mm (0.0315 to 0.0354 in.)
