Note that these plugs only have 13K miles on them.

@vulcan46@earthlink.net , did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm experiencing a very similar situation on my S7 with the same engine. (Lots of oil consumption, misfires, and spark plug fouling across both banks).

I'd love to hear if / how you figured this out!

Do you realize the OP hasn't posted on the board for 1697 days?

Update: I was able to contact Vulcan46, here's what he said!

"This issue occurred three times right around the time that it started burning oil. The dealer said it would improve if I started using top tier fuel only. This is fuel with detergent additives. Most major brands like chevron are top tier. You can google it and find the list of brands that sell top tier. I was skeptical but my problem did not repeat once I started using only top tier gas. Go figure"

Since I've always been using shell 91, it sounds like I have a different problem. But regardless, it's always nice to resolve a thread with a solution!
