and the parts store said yes. After comparing the 67,000 mile plugs to the
new ones, I couldn’t tell much of a difference, so I put in the old ones,
and they worked great. I guess these denso iridiums are really “long life”
plugs. When they say 120,000 miles, they really mean it. One more thing, I
ordered the updated coils part number 90919-A2007, but I got p/n
90919-A2004 instead. I was told they’re the same as the A2007. I installed
them and no problems so far. Any questions, let me know.
My camry has 67,000 miles, and the only reason I did this is because 2
coils were failing. Specifically the coils in #2 and #4 cylinders. Even
though only 2 coils were failing, I bought 3 to replace all 3 coils in the
rear bank. It wouldn’t make much sense to go through all this work, replace
only those 2 coils, and then a month later have to replace the 3rd coil. I
bought new spark plug just in case, but before I bought them, I asked the
parts store if I could return them if I didn’t use them,
If you watch “dailydriven79” hands, arms, and stance you can see where the
12mm bracket bolts are and you don’t need to take wiper assy off. To answer
Martin Aponte’s question about whether to use synthetic or conventional, if
you’re going to change the oil every 5,000 miles, then you can stick to
conventional, but if you change it less often, then go with synthetic.
After doing this, I have a few pointers to share. fchanMSI said to label
all hoses and connections, so you remember where all the hoses and cables
go. That is great advice. I used to do that, but now that phones have
digital cameras built in, I decided to take a picture before taking apart
assemblies, and it worked out great for me. I could see where all hoses &
cables went. On toyota nation the gent says to remove the wiper assy, but
it is not necessary.
I have a question oil level. When I bring my car to Toyota service I
noticed that oil level they fill to higher than the between two dots on the
oil dipstick (over 1/2″ higher) and is that normal? But when I do an oil
change & I fill it to a little over 6 US quarts & then it is between the
two dots on the oil dip stick. Which one is correct, oil dip stick or fill
to 6.5 US quarts?
Great video! This helped me immensely on my spark plug replacement on
Saturday, Hints for the one who are new to doing this are first time is to
label all of hoses & connections to which hose & cable you have to connect
back afterwards. I wish I had an air ratchet so it will make it faster. My
first time doing this took about 4 hours (plus breaks) to do. Use the
universal joint socket to remove the right intake bracket which helps alot
in cramped space there.
I’ve done a few spark plugs on the RHD version of the 2GR camry in
Australia. I don’t have to take the inlet manifold off, but instead remove
the wipers and windscreen plenum. Not sure if the same rule applies to LHD
vehicles.
Purchase 3 updated Ignition coils as well, im sure you will get
Multiple/random misfires with the original coils. get alot tha roll though
at our shop with isolated coil issues. there is an updated part for this
condition
Thanks. It’s always best to have you’re VIN number ready and call a Toyota
dealer for part numbers as they may vary even though the motor is the same.
Sometimes Toyota updates a part and the new part will have a new number.
Also i have a 11 Camry SE v6 i just bought and im getting 13-15 mpg in the
month i have owned it. What could be wrong 95% city driving and no junk
totally clean,32psi,revs about 15-18k rpm and hardly brake.The a/c when
ever i use it which is rare its on low and i often run the a/c on and then
take it off and just recirculate the air.
Thanks for taking the time. Dealer techs like the one who made this video
can knock out a 2GR-FE spark plug change in no time. DIYERS may find it
helpful to also remove windshield wiper arms, then ventilated
cowling(plastic), followed by another piece of cowling below(metal). This
allows much better access to the rear spark plugs on any 2GR-FE engine.
Great job,I own a 2009 v6 le camry, your video walk trough on changing the
spark plugs was better explained than the procedure on the Hynes repair
manual that did not mention anything about getting new gaskets for the
intake and throttle body.I will be very interested in seeing more videos of
repairs on this specific model since I like to do repair stuff by myself,
but first I like to learn the know how on parts, tools and techniques
before doing the job. thanks for showing your great work.
Also, for a slow motion view of a lot presented in this video, go to
toyotanation and search for 2GR-FE spark plug change in the 2nd gen
Highlander forum.

I appreciate and thank you for your answer. It is amazing that you could
this job 1 hour. Again thank you for the great video..
I always go by the dipstick. The actual amount of oil any motor takes will
vary slightly for what ever reason.

how about the transmission oil change?? is it difficult ?
Oil change? About 6.5 US QTs
how many liters of oil used 2009 camry v6 3.5L, and what type of oil used
mineal synthetic or 5w 30

I have this engine and damn I did the front plugs but I did not realize I
would have to replace the intake manifold. Damn, gotta get gaskets.
while your in there save future cost on labor to redo the intake removal
Purchase 3 updated Ignition coils as well, im sure you will get
Multiple/random misfires with the original coils. get alot tha roll though

Awesome video!, i was wondering if you can give me the part numbers for the
intake and throttle gaskets? thanks!!!

Thanks to this video, I knocked it out today. Certainly can’t match
dailydriven79’s time, but I got it done. Love your videos dailydriven79.
Ya, I’ve got the job down to about an hour, book time is like 2.9 hours.
