Oil soaked spark plug
The outside of the spark plug is covered in oil down to the threads.
In addition the car has a miss.
It has 79,000 miles

RE: Oil soaked spark plug
Is it possible oil was accidently spilled and it went down the spark plug whole. I imagine the spark plug boot also had oil on it? which can cause a miss

RE: Oil soaked spark plug
When I pulled the old plug out it was oil soaked,
I swapped the plugs, drove 45 minutes, pulled the plug and it was soaked.

Check your valve cover.
