SERVICE INFORMATION

Some affected vehicles may experience oil accumulation in the spark plug tubes due to oil seepage at the spark plug tube-to-cylinder head interface.

To seal off the seepage, replace the original spark plug wire set with a new, improved spark plug wire set (see Parts Information section) using the procedure described in this Service Bulletin. The new spark plug wire set has an improved bushing design that controls oil seepage at the spark plug tube-to-cylinder interface.
