Why change them so early.

 

 

While the 'service interval' may be 60k miles for changing spark plugs, there is no harm in not changing them...unlike other service items like engine oil, filters and various fluids. If you want to follow the recommended service intervals for spark plugs, that's perfectly fine...but those OE spark plugs will still be performing just like new ones far beyond double the recommended service interval. Iridium spark plugs will last well over 200k miles with no diminish in fuel mileage or performance.

Replacing the spark plugs at 60k miles is 'Required under the terms of the Emission Control Warranty'. Therefore, if you are not concerned with voiding the Emission Control Warranty, then there is no need to replace the spark plugs. I personally would not replace the spark plugs.

 

I changed mines yesterday, and my spark plug have oil on the side. so I recommend doing it. I did my diff fluid too and it got a lot of shaving in it. ima do my tranny fluid this week mybe. people say no ned to do it but its my car and I want to keep this long term.

 

 

its easy. for the passenger side u just take out the intake tube. the only hard part is the driver side the wiring harness middle clip

 

 

DIYDAN posted a video on changing the sparkplugs on his youtube channel

 

61k mile. I work for Toyota so I got the techstream to calibrate the level of the fluid.

 

What torque do you use for the spark plugs? I have a ways to go before I plan on doing them AND know to put an anti-seize paste. But what torque?

 

 

17ftlb my torque wrench lowest is 20 so I just did 20 lol

 

diff is easier than changing spark plug u just need 10mm hex socket 36 ftlb of toruq
