Are you sure it's oil and not gas-soaked carbon? 140-160

Plugs wet with oil are rare, IME. Frequently these engines run rich due to improper mixture or over-choking, and if gas soaks the plugs they look black and wet.

A worn out engine turns a lot more easily than a newer engine. A trick is to push down on the taop of the fanbelt between the waterpump and alt/generator while turning the pulleys. Gets more grip.
