My 06 coupe 6mt, feels sluggish. I currently have 84K miles on it but I have recently noticed an exhaust leaking noise and I think my plugs need changing… any opinions?
In this case, the customer decided to use aftermarket spark plugs. I would always recommend using OEM plugs – you have 3 types to choose from 4a, 5a, and 6a. It is also required to have a ratchet that is capable of snugging down the plugs within the specified torque range. It’s very important to have the plugs torqued correctly, as you can either have them too loose, or have them too tight and risk damaging the aluminum head.

Thank you a lot man!
Thanks mister, I really appreciate this DIY video

Infiniti recommends replacement every 105k , but doing it every 60k is better IMHO
The FSM specifies anywhere between 15-21 ft-lbs
exactly what is the torque setting for these plugs? I have an 04 g35 coupe.
I finally grew the balls to do this myself, until i saw what you wrote.
My friends always told me to tighten the sparkplugs with one hand. when i cannot tighten them anymore with two fingers, that means it’s tightened.
The VQ35DE engine in the Maxima is hard as hell to change spark plugs since the engine is mounted transversly for FWD.
how often do u replace this?
torque at the minimum torque spec if the threads are coated with anything like anti-seize or oil.
