Re: Misfiring ?
If you've got a mivec engine you need the special tool, if it's the standard engine just use the standard sparkplug tool on an extension.
I guess what you're after is the mivec sparkplug tool?

Re: Misfiring ?
I have one, as I took the spark plugs out of my project engine. Will have to try and find which one it is though.

Angle grind the edges off a socket or buy a set of tube spanners from your local auto store.The special tool is just a tube spanner.
What is more concerning though is why you have oil in with your plugs. Id be checking that out sooner rather than later if I were you.

Check the factory toolkit in the boot. All mivecs had one in it.
Otherwise, I'm not far from Blacktown, I have one you can borrow.

Suzitech. Specialise in Suzuki's obviously but a couple of members know them and they can do most things. Theyre pretty nice down there and do a bunch of different work on most cars. They're in Thornleigh.
