I think it's oil the factory used when installing the spark plugs.

I'd say that you definitely blew your engine but it's not April Fool's Day until tomorrow.

Don't sweat it. I suspect it's from the factory as moosestang states. Anything else and there would be other nasty evidence.

Think of it this way White. The electrodes weren't oiled, and the porcelain wasn't oiled. If neither the outside end or inside end was oiled, how would the threads get oiled if it wasn't there already?

Unless your tips are showing lots of little deposits, you're probably just fine!
