Default Brown/Rust colored spark plugs!?!??!

Just pulled my BKR7E's after a normal drive and the spark plugs appear to have "rust" On the little arm...

WTF does that mean?!?!?

it means moisture has oxidized on your spark plugs.

I doubt its actually rust.

Did it flake off and **** or just look like rust?

Could it have been brown with black specs?

have you used octane booster? It will cause it to show that color, not to mention waste you money for something that doesnt really help anything
