    Just wondering whether delaying changing the spark plugs on my 2009 4L V6 Tacoma will hurt it. I just crossed the 48000 km mark and would like to wait another 1500 km, then I can change the oil at the same time. Any thoughts?

    I would do them with the oil change I did mine its really simple took an hour max, because the drivers side is a little harder to get at 2 of them

    Thanks for the replies. I actually found time to change them today. It was simple with Chris4x4's procedure. The driver's side ones are a little more hidden but I got to them with a little patience. Now I'm good for another 48000. Also grease my U-joints and checked the air filters. All that was after riding around on my new Honda Rancher AT :)
