I think your problem is the platinums all together

I was told that blowby will not cause plugs to get soaked with oil.. i just went through a similar episode. You may be looking at bad guides, valves, or valve seals.

For me, it was bad valves (excess play within the guides) allowing oil to pass down through the guides and soak the plug!

Your plugs are fine. You can't tell much from reading spark plugs after driving around normal and idling. Only true way to tell is make a hard WOT pass, then shut the car off at the top of the gear and coast to a stop, pull the plug right there and read it.

5.0s like plain and simple old copper plugs, anything else is a waste of your $.
