Well when i got the truck i didn't have the carfax on the truck so the place where i got the truck got the carfax for me and nothing had really been done to the truck other than oil change's. And routine maintenance. So after I had it about 2 or 3 months I took it to the local Toyota dealership and had everything inspected. They replace the drive belt and some other little minor things nothing major that really needed to be done. They said that they checked the spark plugs and they was fine. Then in April Or May of 2019 I noticed I had poor gas mileage I wasn't even getting 200 miles to tank of gas. So my best friend told me I needed a tune-up change the spark plug clean the throttle body all that good stuff. He said the spark plugs he took out of the trunk was the original spark plugs that came from the factory. After he did all that it ran like a brand new truck. Then about two months ago it started idling high and I had little gas mileage again. So the first thing I thought about it needs another tune-up. So that's what the guy just did about a week ago and then that's when he found the oil on the spark plugs.

Just FYI, CARFAX does not necessarily show all maintenance performed on a vehicle. It’s a poor way of proving a negative, i.e. that any particular routine maintenance was not done. Not every service provider reports maintenance via databases that interface with CARFAX, plus obviously owner-DIY maintenance.
