Default Check engine light. Look at my plugs

The check Engine light just came on. The RPM jumped once in a while but came back to normal once it warmed up.

It's D16Y8. I did the compression test and it was 182 /167 /167 / 175
But made a mistake by doing on a cold engine.

Here are the plugs. The second one is rougher shape than others. What do you think. I can't remember when I changed these. For sure more than 3 years ago(****, didn't realize that) , but I don't drive long distance.







Do you think it's misfiring due to the old plugs?

They are all NGK Iridium plugs.
I think I'll go with Platinium plugs this time. Iridiums cost too much.
Should I go with NGK V power or GP?

What do you guys think of my compression numbers?
