They look OK from what I can see, but are you sucking oil through the PCV?

I replaced mine at ~26k but yours are way darker. Probably what I can expect when I get to 61k. At 33k now w/ what feels like a slow and painful hpfp failure looming on my horizon.

just replace them, cheap improvment!

They are much sootier due to excessive fuel than I would have expected. Is the car driven short distance mostly?
