    I pulled the plugs for 120k service, service record shows plugs were done at 90k by the dealership. The plug for cylinder 6 has some deposits on it that has me worried. Wondering if it warrants a trip to the dealership? I have an extended warranty on the truck for another 25k miles.

    Here is a shot of the plug:

    I didn’t check when I pulled but I will check the gap in the morning.

    Here are the other two plugs from the cylinders 2/4 for reference:

    Perfectly fine, it’s carbon buildup. As long as there isnt oil on the plugs dont worry.

    Thanks @Matmo215,

    Plugs were all dry when I pulled them.
