Spark plugs 2017 TRD sport

So I was looking at my service sheets from the dealership. I am sitting at 95,xxx km. Dealership is suggesting changing spark plugs at 97,000km.

are they hard to change on your own? I have NOT looked for a YouTube video lol. I have changed my plugs in my old Mazda B-2200 1992. No brainer these ones will be much harder to change, right?

 

I think it's easy and there is definitely a video on it.

 

Did mine at 100k kms...they really didn't need it when I pulled them, but what the hell. The worst one is the drivers side firewall plug. You have to loosen a harness and stuff and it will seem like you'll have to pull the intake manifold, but you won't. That's the only real pain

 

There is one on YouTube

and yeah a little more labor intensive. I also did mine on my Mazda 99 B2500

 

It’s not hard, use a swivel attachment and you’ll be good. Honestly the hardest plug to get out is the very back one on the drivers side. Other than that it’s cake.

 

Why bother ?

I drove my Gen 2 250k and never changed them.

 

Here is a great write up on replacing them. It can be done without removing the intake manifold:

It's tight but I never remove the intake. A quarter inch 10mm socket and ratchet are key.
