You use a calibrated inch pound torque wrench to tighten plugs (and coils). You do NOT guess at tightness unless you're in the African Bush and it's an emergency. Use of anti-seize compounds CHANGES (reduces) the factory specified torque value. Anti-seize is not necessarily a great idea and if you change your plugs on schedule you do NOT need it (again, use of anti-seize leads to overtightening). BEFORE you remove the plugs you have to REMOVE the DIRT at base of plug by blowing it out (while wearing safety glasses). The discoloration on the plug insulator is probably not oil related...it is blow by leakage past insulator seal. The guy that did this video is definitely not fully informed and at one point he referred to the anti-seize as a dielectric (using a SMALL amount of dielectric on coil boot is not a bad idea). The FAILURE to use a calibrated torque wrench is a dead giveaway that he is an amateur.
I think I'm counted as living in the Africa/Swedish remote bush. So make me a video, because I don't have afford to leave it to the mechanic and I need my car.. 😬🚨 . Like prob the rest of the people watching this.
The dielectric grease should NOT go on the threads of the spark plug. I think you meant to put anti-seize on there. Which, most of the time, is not even necessary these days. The dielectric grease should go on the ceramic part since it's an insulator.

Make a video and show and tell bro
@@panchovilla3493 yea pls make a video lol

10mm is life.
Super helpful, thank you!
My car had a HUGE mud dauber nest under the cover here.

If you're getting oil in there you need to change the valve cover seal
Thanks
Please change the title of your video to reflect you are working on a 2008 and NOT a 2007 Corolla.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Denso only
The box will tell you whether to apply anything to the spark plug threads.... most do NOT.
Denso are good ngk are little better
I have Toyota Seedan 2009 Corolla what type of Spark plugs should i use
Iridium plugs from Toyota
iridium is a metal that lasts longer than platinum and you may not need iridium plugs... I said MAY.
