My brother and I changed out my spark plugs yesterday. The car idle weird before didn't burn or leak oil so we change the front no problems then we changed the back starting from left to right facing car transverse engine and when we got the one all the way to the right the coils was covered in oil. What does this mean? I'm getting 6-7 more avg. MPGS and there is no smoke coming out off exhaust. Also does the coil you take out have to go back in the one you removed it from, my brother can be a dumbass

A coil is a coil it doesn't care where it goes. The oil may be from the coil it self bu if you aren't having any problems with it then let it alone.

You can change it if you like but unless you can absolutely make sure it came from the coil I would leave it alone because a lot of aftermarket coils are not that good and give problems right off the bat. If it is leaking oil it wil go bad after a while so let it go for now.
