Changing Spark Plugs 2013 Ultimate

[Speedtd11]

Has anyone changed the spark plugs themselves at home? If so was it a rough job? Debating on doing it myself if taking it to the shop.

I did it. Wasn’t too hard. Just go slow and take you time. Probably took me 2 hours

Well, I already did mine. You just need some basic sockets. If you have done this before on another car, it’s no problem. You will need a small socket to loosen the bolt that holds the coil wires, and then a plug socket. The plugs are deep so you need an extension. You also need to duct tape the socket to the extension, so the socket does not separate from the extension

The bolts at hold the coil wire is done with 1/4 inch drive..and possibly a swivel. Spark plugs with a 3/8 inch drive. Other only plug that is a bit wonky is the drivers side plug closest to the firewall

If none of this makes sense, go to an Indy. Can’t see them charging much more than 200 dollars. I am retired so I have the time

A pro should take no longer than two hours. Plugs are 18-20 dollars each

I know, I'm going to continue to look around.

I just completed the replacement myself. Definately do not pay someone 860 for this job, it was easily done if your somewhat mechanical.

I went with the NGK RUTHENIUM and have been great so farz


Repeat: do not pay someone 860 for this job.
