the oil in the IC is normal if you do not run a catch can, get one if you don't.

1) swap the coilpacks from 2 & 4 to 1 & 3, reset the ecu. If the misfires move to 1 & 3 your coilpacks are bad, otherwise goto step 2.

2) check your plugs, proper gap should be around 0.030", make sure they are the correct plugs. NGK BKR7*.
