Right, so car was not starting, changed battery, it starts fine now.

Thought i would check the spark plugs as they havent been changed for over a year. Pull them out and the bit where the spark plug goes into is filled with oil wtf.

Any ideas what to do? Should i take out spark plugs (after i have cleaned the oil out) or what?

Seriously dont know what to do.
