The life span for a change of the plugs on my Toyota 4Runner is 190kkm. The car is now 22 years old and just passed 190kkm last year! I had Toyota swap the plugs for me 7 years ago as I was not going to have a go on them!

Maybe previous owner(s) left #4 in there because they didn't want to remove the charge pipe? So that one's much older (hasn't been moved) than the others.

Eschew!!

This sounds like a very possible scenario!

In China, sometimes there is no fourth floor of a building ..

Back in Seattle we once worked with Taiwanese investors to develop a commercial building downtown. The whole deal suddenly screeched to a halt because the actual address of the lots was very bad luck. A scramble of lawyers jumped in with City officials and the PO to change the numbers of the address.
