spark plug questions.

[scoobert]

took these out of my honda after 125,000 miles what causes that debris on the plugs?

after 125k miles, those plugs don't look bad. all the junk is just deposits made over the 125k miles. how far off the nominal gapping were they?

 

[scoobert]

125,000 miles, that's 4500 gallons of fuel.... any idea where i should have gotten it? lol.
thats 1/5 of a tanker!!! lol.

BP,Shell,Texaco. Any major branded gasoline. Stay away from the cheap shit like wawa, walmart etc and unbranded fuels. They buy on the open market whatever is cheapest at the time. Branded adds their own addatives. Some cheap premiums have MMK to enhance the octane rating which is bad for engines. Also stay away from fuel addatives and octane boosters that have MMK. The plugs pictured are fairly normal for that many miles. You probably should have changed them a little sooner.
