Great video! The dealer charges ~$250 to do this job (OEM Mazda plugs cost mucho $$$, plus 1 hr labor @ $125). Watching this gives me full confidence to do it myself.
Hi Enrique,
I got the same spark plugs like you, and have the same old as you, but I observed that the old ones DILKAR7F8 have a 0.8 mm gap, and the new ones ILKAR7L11 have a 1.1 mm gap and I was afraid to go with the change because of that plus old ones were still looking fine at 80K miles. How they are working for you?
Also, I saw that the ILKAR7L11 are on the Mazda CX-5 with 2.0 Skyactive engine but still not sure that will be a good replacement.
Hi Enrique. Thanks for the good material. Could you refer to spark plug socket did you use? I bought OEM but it's too short.
A very good job of explaining how to change plugs. I have seen other people tighten plugs by cranking them with a ratchet all the way……. not good!
Hi thanks for the informative video.
Can you add a list of the tools used in the description or comments please
I have two questions – what are your work gloves?. 2. could you shoot more video about the oscilloscope?
Thank you))
