Is it dangerous to continue driving the Oshan X7 with oil on the spark plugs o r coils?

I noticed a mechanic wiped oil off my ignition coil area but didn’t explain the issue properly. If theres oil on the spark plugs o r ignition components, is it safe to keep driving? Could this damage the ignition system o r lead to more serious engine issues?

Yes, it can be risky. Oil in the ignition area is not just a performance issue it poses a fire hazard and may cause long-term engine o r ECU damage if misfiring continues.

Potential outcomes of ignoring the issue:

Engine misfires causing damage to the catalytic converter

Increased fuel consumption

Damage to ignition coils, which are expensive to replace

Action to take:

Don’t delay repairs. Get the spark plug wells cleaned and seal leak fixed

Check and replace spark plugs and ignition coils as needed

Monitor for performance and fuel economy changes
