Dielectric silicone is an electric insulator. Not a good idea to put it on
the threads of the spark plug. It just increases the resistance. Just use a
little dielectric on the boots with a q tip. Use anti seize compound on the
treads if you are worried about them.
Great video man very helpful. You sound like a friend of mine he’s from El
Salvador. Where are you from? Are you salvadorian? Lol random I know I was
just curious. Great video anyways. Thanks.
so on a 2007 chevy cobalt, is the spark plug different than the ignition
coil? also, if it is, if i change the ignition coils, do i have to change
the spark plugs also?
Idk too much bout my 07 Cobalt LS, but dont you have to do the spark plugs
in a certain order for the shooting order. If you have any idea what im
talking about
I was taught to put just a tiny bit on the boot just to make sure it
doesn’t get stuck on there or anything. I am not an expert mechanic in any
way shape or form, I’m just one of those DIY guys lol. I have done it this
way in 3 different cars, I bought this Cobalt brand new and put a total of
103,000 miles on it before it was totaled. I also put plenty of miles on my
other cars and never had a problem by changing the spark plugs this way.I
guess its up to you man, Im sure either way won’t hurt.
I recommend going to a local advanca auto, napa or auto zone, they should
have the correct gap information on their computer. Just tell them your
exact year and model.
The best is to put the Dielectric silicone on the spark plug boot and anti
seize on the spark plug threads .And don’t change the plugs when the car is
hot make sure the motors cool!
@suburbanator91 Cool. I did buy this towards the end of ’07 therefore its a
late model year and that explains why it has the individual coil packs.
Thanks for the info. And too bad my cobalt is totaled. Now I bought
something else but I stuck with Chevy =D
thank you; i found the spark plugs , lol

best video for us chicks that like to do our own work
never seize compound on plug threads is always the best way to go.
Thank you. This helped me and my dad work on my 2010 Cobalt LT.
What’s the gap supposed to be on?
So easy compared to my V6. Haha
when you put the grease on the plastic did you put it on the the ring on
inside the hole?
very helpful my good sir
Damn man clean that engine
In 2007 the ignition system was changed to individual coils. There were
problems with the other type which I have on my 2006.
There is only 4 spark plugs? How often should I change them?
Basically the same.
I just changed my plugs in my 2006 Cobalt and want to say thank you…your
video was a great help!!!

Hey, for the fuel filter, did you de-pressurize the system by bleeding fuel
through the Schrader valve, or did you just start it up & pull the fuse?

seize on the spark plug threads .And don’t change the plugs when the car is

thanks,saved me bucks from the dealer.Plus upgraded to a premium plug,runs
well.
mine is the same set up i have the 09 cobalt lt also got the ac delco how

Thanks! Its always best when they are already gapped but sometimes its good
to double check.
I have a 2008 cobalt LS and I’m having trouble replacing my studs, my rotor
doesn’t want to come off……
