Damn the mechanic told me the plugs may have been the cause too... jaaayyz. Hopefully I'm not looking at a new engine.

plugs may have been apart of it, but u still have the problem on why u have no oil.
Even the wrong plugs wouldn't cause this.. unless it scored the walls so bad oil was excaping through the rings and burning out the exhaust.

It would probably be more useful if you post your compression test results.

You may have a bad ignition coil fuse, but that certainly can't be the only problem here. Even if an ignition coil fuse was bad, you wouldn't have a damaged spark plug. Something else is going on....

that is all that was left of my ignition coil. the top had to be cut off in order to get a tool in there to spin out the melted coil...

Looks to me like a serious overheat as well as some massive detonation... you oil was NOT the cause of this engine failure. IMO youre looking at a new engine. Those tips didnt just vanish, looks like they blew off and bounced around in the combustion chambers and could have scored the walls or messed up you pistons.

NEVER EVER use those bosh plugs, DENSO or NGK only!!!

You may have lucked out. A similar thing has been documented where the spark plugs can shake loose if not torqued properly. The loose spark plug then backs out of the head and the flaming gas shoots up the coil pack and melts it.

When that happened to me, the engine was structurally still fine. The head had some issues from stripped threads that went when the plug blew out.

It might be okay.

For his sake I hope so, new motors are expensive as hell.
