hows my fuel mixture?
>>
Looks great. Burning just the right amount of engine oil
>>
>>29010647
What do the other 4 plugs look like?
>>
>>29010647
Looks lean, some oil seep from the top because of oil leaking above probably from excessive heat because too lean
>>
>>29010652
i dont need to add any oil between changes (once a year). pretty good for 36yr old engine
>>29010658
yeah the blinking led of mystery told me its too rich or too lean
>>
>>29010647
Right banks running lean, and you're timings out on 3. Nothing to write home about. They'll catch it next time you go in for a tune-up.
>>
Needs more Marvel Mystery Oil.

You wouldn't be lean if your running Chevron With Techron (tm). It's a premium gasoline additive and fuel brand. The additive uses a patented polyether amine (PEA) chemical formula that cleans carbon deposits from your engine’s fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers to restore lost power and improve fuel efficiency.

Definitely not too rich, it would be a dry black sooty looking plug

>the blinking led of mystery
narrowband "afr" meter? I installed one on my first car when I was a scrub lol at the time I didn't know the difference between a wideband and a narrowband afr meter

I was going to make a new thread but this one seems appropriate.

This is from a /k/ thread about Russian gas issues. They've gone back to using Euro-3 out of necessity, to pad the gas supply I guess.

So what the fuck is in that benzine?
>>
>>29010647
are those russian sparkplugs?
>>
>>29011902
Go back
>>
>>29011902
>They've gone back to using Euro-3 out of necessity
Euro3 in modern engines would only be an issue for the EGR valve, cat (both of which can be rid of which is common in russia) and injectors which are a bigger and more expensive problem, particularly now, since getting replacement parts for complicated stuff is more problematic

That shit in the video is another matter, it looks like "adulterated" petrol, it was quite common back in the day all over eastern Europe, to the point that it was advised to use petrol stations belonging to the big brands because they were less like to do it
"Adulterated" doesn't mean just water in most cases, it's adding all kinds of shit like kerosene or petrol that didn't pass any norms due to errors during distillation and mixing it with quality in hope no one notices
That gunk/varnish is pretty common with those mystery mixes, similar shit happens when you let fuel sit for years in the tank of a oldtimer for example

Yeah, I'm aware of that as something that happens when you leave a car sitting for six months/a few years.

Thanks anon.
Officially it's just ethanol being added but in reality, who knows?
I guess they're using the low quality stuff that would otherwise get thrown into mazut or something.

>>29011602
Little cold.

I should do my spark plugs this month and when I do, I bet the thread will still be up
>>
>>29011602
Afr looks good at the tips but fouling on the side might mean you take only short trips and the plugs don't get hot enough to burn the soot off. Good news is it doesn't look like oil fouling
