How to change Spark Plugs on New Toyota V6 Engine 2GR-FKS 3.5L D4S

A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shows you how to change Spark plugs on New Toyota V6 Engine 2GR-FKS 3.5L D4S The easy and quick way!

In this follow up video to the spark plug replacement video of the 2GR-FE I’ll show you how to replace the spark plugs on the updated Toyota and Lexus V6 engine the 2GR-FKS D4S.

It seems like Toyota listened to mechanics and made this V6 simpler to work on at least from a Spark plug replacement prospective. This engine seems initially very technological and advanced but actually basic maintenance is simple.

You will need some basic hand tools and some other parts additional to the spark plugs. Recommend for replacement as well is the throttle body gasket and the Intake plenum gasket.

Awesome. Thank you. Your videos are super informative.

Gregory Fell says:

Like others, I was intimidated to do this job. You saved me about $600 from what Toyota was going to charge me. My air cleaner, as you mentioned in the video, was reversed on my 2018 model. But, with your clear, step by step instructions, this job was easy. You are an incredible person to help retirees such as myself. Thank you so very much.

Bilal Siddiqui says:

Thank you very much for the detailed video! You’re a master of your craft and are gifted with great presentation skills. I know you mentioned the procedure is the same on all of the vehicles with the 2GRFKS engines but I was a bit cautious in making sure there are no differences in the steps you mentioned vs what I needed to do on my 2018 RX 350. I can assure everyone reading this, there are no differences in the procedure. I was able to successfully complete the job EXACTLY following the illustrated procedure.

LESSONS LEARNED.
When you said we need to be VERY careful not to pinch the breather hose, I really made sure I am not pinching it. However, I did not pay much attention to the actual location of the breather hose. I pushed it back all the way to get it out of the way and torqued down the intake manifold and everything else. I later realized the crankcase vent hose/breather hose is TOO short and was unable to reach the air intake tube from behind the engine. I think That hose is meant to go underneath the intake manifold, not behind it.

For now, instead of taking everything apart again, I just bought a replacement longer breather hose to go behind the engine and come back around toward the right side. For my next spark plug change, I will make sure to use OEM breather hose with the correct orientation. So guys, just remember to not pinch your breather hose underneath the intake manifold, and remember it follows closely behind the intake manifold and that you are able to easily plug it into the air intake hose.

Hello,
Does the oem spark plugs come calibrated or do I have to calibrate them? Thanks in advance.

Evan Jones says:

Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to share this. Very detailed, job went smooth.

Greg J says:

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I would recommend cleaning the throttle body and mass air flow sensor while you're there. It needs it for sure. Watch vids on that.

James Robinson says:

Any chance of having a video for a 2017 highlander hybrid? the video was great for most of it but the back 2 plugs are under a bracket connected to a coolant mixing valve? I had to stop and reassemble.

Roberto Vargas says:

Ha ha were are you at . I will just bring my 2016 Toyota Sienna to you, when it reaches 100,000 miles. And am not joking.

Kevin Lewis says:

Excellent. Subscribed.

Regardless if I decide to do this by myself or take it to the dealer, this guy is a legend. Not only does he lay out very clearly what needs to be done, but the life advice he gives starting at 19:16 can be applied to everything in life.

bishopd says:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was trained by Toyota over 30 years ago (Toronto, Canada). When I was about to start at a dealership I was asked to pastor a church. Never stopped helping people out for free to save them money and to keep up with my love for cars. I have always owed Toyotas (Tercel, Supra (84 & 85), Camry, Sienna and now a 2019 Highlander xle. I have always ordered the dealership shop manuals or the shop dvd. Now you are my main source for staying current and up to date. Thank you for creating this channel. May the Lord continue to blessing you as you bless others with your knowledge and wisdom.

DTX Trucker says:

FxNitr0 says:

I can’t find the gasket part # for the intake manifold gasket for my Highlander 2017 le plus 4WD

ronin2167 says:

What are the differences between the Tacoma 2GR-FKS and the 2022 Lexus 2GR-FKS? Are the accessories and pullies mounted in the same places?

Kevin N says:

I just bought a 2017 Sienna with 65k miles and ordered new spark plugs for it. I will be using the video to do the job. Thank you.

David Vollandt says:

I did the plugs on my 2004 sienna without removing the intake. Like this guy did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KcWLHz0Jxw&t=141s

ElJefe4130 says:

Awesome videos sir! Is there a gap needed on these plugs? I will get the plugs
from the dealer.

catapult182 says:

Just did this job on my wife’s minivan. Great video

Colorado Boo says:

Some mechanics lube the ends of the coils…not necessary??

La Tah says:

What do you mean by “NIC”?

Genel O says:

I'm new to the Channel, I have a question we recently purchase a used 2017 Toyota Sienna how to change the thermostat? I have issue with it, It's stock open? Dealership is changing the water pump cause it's still under warranty but water pump is not. The van has 87,000 miles when bought.

ElJefe4130 says:

Do you happen to have the part number for the plenum gasket and TB gasket?

Philip Matro says:

Hey. I completed this job for a 2017 Sienna but when I turned the van on to make sure all was good it gave me an Check Electric Power Steering System warning and the car shut off. Any idea what could be causing this?
