Hotter Plugs for 1995 SL1

I've heard some folks talk about running hotter plugs to keep them from
fouling on the SL1 engines that burn oil. Anyone know what plug is actually
"hotter" than stock? I stopped at the local NAPA auto parts store and they
said my stock plugs are the hottest available except for these after-market
"oil burring car" plugs that have a 13/16 hex instead of the smaller hex our
stock plugs have.

Thoughts?

Would a wide re-gap provide the same advantage?

What is the brand and number on plug now? Hotter plugs in a oil
burning engine is a very old trick that can work well sometimes.

We use NGK platinum in ours and have had no problems at all.

I burn a quart of oil every 500-700 miles so I need hotter than stock plugs.
Do you burn oil too?
