On another note, if the spark plugs are accessible, spray penetrating oil to the base of the plugs while they're still warm. Do not handle the spark plugs while they're still hot and still installed. Let them cool off. Aluminum cylinder heads are too easy to get the spark plug holes to get stripped.

September 7th, 2017 12:02 PM #14To TS, just make sure to look at your owner's manual. The specific type of sparkplug best suited for your car is usually listed there. Usually they list 2-3 different brands but with same specs (ie: Denso, NGK, Bosch, etc). That is what you will buy and install in your car. You may also opt for Iridiums if budget permits, longer service life... REplacing a spark plug is direct to the point if you are willing to get your hands dirty once in a while. its a man thing
