Changed my plugs after 38k (PICS)

Car left the factory with NGK, Toyota dealers sell DENSO replacements. Car seems to run a LOT better now. I don't care what they claim, I ain't leaving my plugs in for 100K.
NOTES:
1)The factory plugs I removed are covered with what appears to be sticky cosmoline on the threads, like the stuff they rub down old military rifles with! That's what it smells and looks like.... It's NOT motor oil.
2)There appears to be a "pad" attached to the inside of the hook part of the plug across from the iridium center electrode. Never seen that on any other plug before.
3)The iridium is like a pin tip, hard,brittle and delicate.
$38 shipped Priority mail from Covina Toyota in Cali via Ebay....
The pics are from a Blackberry, so please excuse the quality.
