I would like to put a bit of oil in the cylinders before I start my car (2001 Viggen) after being stored for 5-6 months. I've never removed spark plugs. I read there is a washer that gets crushed to provide a good seal between them and the cylinder head. Can I reuse them with no issues, though? I plan on replacing them soon, but for the time being anyway...
Also, how much oil to put? Just a squirt? I don't know how much is too much. Anything to expect before the first start up (such as extra smoke coming out the back due to this extra oil)?
Thanks in advance, Bender.
