Where do you find torc specs?
This looks much easier then the six cylinder you did. Less stuff to remove.
My wife has a 2011 Corolla S type.
Thanks. Great video really helped. I have a question about the Spark plug anti-seize lube. I wanted to ask because some other websites like Prius chat said that the engine is made from aluminum and not using anti-seize may cause the spark plug to be stuck and strip next time when you replace them
I removed plugs from 2011 rx450h. They have yellow crosses painted on top of them. does it mean they are original ones and have never been replaced? They look not bad and car has 140 000 on it. Thank you. Great content.
Wonderful explanation.
Very informative video…
When should you change spark boots I have 400000 k
Hello
I still have a question.
How to distinguish which sparks last 60k and which ones last 120k miles ?
Thank you
Thanks for the video
Could you tell us what the exact torque spec for a 2021 RAV4 is ?
Thanks a lot
Last time i changed plugs, was plug wires to the distributer………..what a difference……no wonder i did not know where the plugs were…….lol
I always clean and lube the coil rubber with Shin-Etsu before I put them back. Put a dab of engine oil on the spark thread to help removal the next time. Absolutely no anti-seize. Do not buy spark plugs from E-Bay, Amazon, etc. Most of them are the counterfeit plugs. I would leave my original plugs in place rather than putting these "new" plugs in. Buy Denso plugs either from chain parts stores or Toyota dealerships. Sometimes, parts stores cost more than dealerships.
same for 2020 corolla
How many miles for a spark plug change for a 2012 corolla (2zr fe) ? Thank you so much
