Sorry to be such a pain in the @ss but if I were you I would at least look at the coolant hoses and verify that they are not leaking. I have read before that when they leak they drip onto a spark plug and errode away the metal and help them to blow out.

I'm not ******* you, I'm just trying to save you ALOT of money and headaches.

I noticed someone mentioned that Mobile 1 had a "sweet" smell to it. I do have a small oil leak. I know what regular motor oil smells like burnt, but does synthetic smell different? I wouldnt think it would, but i'm not an oil expert.
