Plug Change...

Changed my plugs today. New year, new plugs....

anyway, while changing them i found one of them was a little loose.
I picked up my truck used back in 2018 as a certified Toyota used model.
I assume they did the service then even though it wasn't at 60k for the "certified" check box.
I cant say for certain though. I jus thought I would be on the safe side and go ahead and change em.

Guess which one.

 

A couple loose plugs from the Factory seems to happen on these 3.5's every so often.

 

Seems you fixed your obnoxious pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, noise coming from your engine.

 

Passenger-rear?

 

I guess the one on the right that has oil splatter on it

 

Wow. Exactly.

 

Honestly, i never noticed anything odd.

 

yeah, that would be it.

 

How many miles

 

Should we all be checking our plugs now ?

 

Seems to always be that one

 

I just turned over 80k

 

What's the # of the passenger rear cylinder?

 

That would be cylinder 5

 

I think they go like this, right?

5 - 6
3 - 4
1 - 2

Front

 

...yep, #5

 

Yes

 

Other than the loose plug, how do they look?

 

If you bought it certified used @ 60k there is a 100% chance they didn't touch the plugs. lol.

Have you done a heat soak with something like seafoam spray? Do you run cleaners every so often?
