Parker, you just saved me some serious dough!!! My ignition coil in cylinder 1 went bad, so I searched TH-cam and found your tutorial on plugs, so I changed them while I was under the hood. Thanks!!
I have always done my own tune ups , but in today's cars there is so much crap in the way OR SO IT SEEMED, ,thanks for this video Bro. . I just can't pay $100 plus to have plugs installed.
Thanks dude..short,sweet, but effective.. Saw another video but dude didn't do close up so couldn't see where exactly everything was.. But you did excellent job. Thanks
Solid Video, shows the over all basics. It was not mentioned in the video, but what type of plugs did you replace the OEM with and did you have to GAP them?
Not to hate, but you need to disconecct the battery negative for safety first and also clean the valve cover from all the dust you have..also when you tightened it you said you did a half turn but you did a quarter horrible and dangerous video...guys do no do this ate home please!
Just what I was looking for, thanks a lot for this video and don't let the haters bother you. Steven Sushi is trying to tell you what something that doesn't make sense, just like the end of his comment.... guys do no do this ate home please. LOL 😂. People don't listen to Steven Sushi. Great Video and keep up the good work. Thanks again.

Thank you for this video, I just replaced my own for the very first time!!
Way to go!!

computergardener seriously, nobody mentioned the gap haha
Some come pre gaped
Thanks so much my first time doing this for my sister on her Kia Optima
I appreciate this informative video on 2013 Kia Optima 🙌
Thanks for the video, I need to change my plugs soon on my Kia.
The gray lock tab or clip would not slide back on my connectors and all of them broke. Do you know what the part number is for the gray locking tab?
Thanks for posting the video, well done
How did you remove the protective plastic that sits over the area your working on ?
Pull up from the corners. It pops right off.
@@parkerbengtzen Thank You!!
Do they already come gapped
what's the gap for the plug?????????
Perfect video straight to the point thank y you
I can only get one of the clips off of the coil. The other 3 won't come off.
Should use a dab of Never-Seez on the threads since the head is Aluminum.
Dealership: yeah we will need to change spark plugs but only for $400
Me: thanks I’ll take my free oil change thx..
The oem spark plugs for the kia optima 2013 are DENSO IRIDIUM FXU16HR11
BUT AT WHAT MILEAGE DO THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED ????
Typically every 30,000 miles
Owners manual sais 120k miles as long as you use iridium plugs
@@fedoratheexplora7180 I saw something online like 45, 90, 105...
Owners manual states 120k miles for the 2.4l gdi engine. Iridium plugs can last up to 200k miles so changing at 120k is actually overkill.
Thank you
💥💥💥Thanks it was very helpful 💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥
ALWAYS use antiseize on dissimilar metals
What does dissimilar metals mean?
@@luism8612 different
I agree but the spark plug manufacturer recommends not using it as they are now using a crush washer and less torque specs are needed.
@@6atlantis that sounds like a cop-out, how about single piece plugs and anti-seize
Thank you boss man!

Well I have to agree he didn't use a torque ratchet to tighten down the spark plug theres a special type of rachet to tighten down the plugs!
Jordanis Laureano I would like you to find one mechanic that uses a torque wrench on spark plugs.
Thank you.
