I have an 2018 Camry, just turned 60,000 miles. Dealer wanted a ridiculous price to change 4 spark plugs. Bought plugs from dealer, followed your video and changed myself. It went flawlessly, very easy to do. Thank you for these videos.
Consumers need to ask for legislation on price gouging! Dealerships want a Kidney for this repair ! $400! Not all of us are mechanical incline! Thank you for the video! This might look easy, my luck is I break something! and damage the engine... This video is 10 minutes! 4 spark plugs, $53... The rest is $400 on labor, Come on man!
Every time when I open bonnet, it puts smile on my face. Toyota made masterpiece. So simple but so complicate, beautiful piece of engineering. Thank you AMD.
The information and instructions in your videos are so clear, sequential, and straight forward, anyone who understands the information can elevate themselves to the level of a professionally trained mechanic.

I love this channel Toyota enthusiasts here. Hey I got a 2000 Toyota Celica gts with 315,000 plus miles, and the car still runs strong. I am it's first owner and would love to here your good story and bad story's with the 2zzge engine not the oil burning not so loved 1zzfe. Also how where costumers reaction when it was at the dealership. I also got another celica gts build 2zzge with alot of power when running high boost close deck design block. Real fan of Toyota in general. I love all cars but Toyota is definitely my favorite. I just got a 2019 rav4 and just popped a video on youtube of rav4 and great tips for maintaining the engine.
Really appreciate your videos! I appreciate that you discuss both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of cars and greatly appreciate your technical knowledge and experience. You are also very good at presenting the information in a pleasant and concise manner. I will be taking delivery of a 2024 Camry LE in about a week and expect that your videos will initially suffice as my “service manual” for that car. 😊 Best wishes…
Thanks for all your videos on modern Toyotas. My wife and I just bought a brand new RAV4 and wet love it. I'm old school, mechanically inclined and looking forward to lean more about modern engines like our RAV4 has.
Piece of cake with this video. Bought on Amazon 14mm spark plug socket off your link. I already had a Torque wrench. Probably took about 30 min start to finish for me. I went a little over at 130k. No wet plugs.
Per NGK, G-Power Platinum plugs are good for 60K km, Iridium IX 100K km and Iridium Laser 120K km. Ruthenium HX can last as good as Iridium Laser way cheaper. Ruthenium plugs are high ignitability to ensure quicker throttle response, faster acceleration, smoother idle and better cold start.
Another great video from AMD. Thank you for letting us know the torque specs of the plugs and screws (15 FT/LB for plugs and 66 IN/LB for screws). I wrote down on my 2020 Rav4 owner's manual. Listen to AMD and never put anti-seize on the thread. But I do put a drop of motor oil on the thread. I never had problem of removing the oil plugs. I heard the newer plugs come with some kind of film on the thread and if you put anything on it, it will affect the torque value. I am an old timer and I still put a drop of oil on them. I also spray a thin coat of dielectric grease on the coil connectors. On top of that, I will put a dab of Shin-Etsu on the rubber of coil to make them supple years after years. I am looking forward to a video from AMD to show us how to change coolant on this 2.5L non hybrid although AMD had mentioned to remove a hose to release air when he talked about a 2018 Camry. God bless you and you have a wonderful day!
Be interesting to see if the thread pattern is the same in the older ones that were 10 mm and all they did was change the head of the bolt to 8 mm. It's kind of weird since there are so many 10 mm fasteners all over Toyotas.
Great tip on removal while warm. I recently changed my sons plugs in an 08 Suzuki and one was really seized in there but some gentle twists finally got her out. (It was a cold engine)
Id like to add one point, for some reason, Toyota dealership in Saudi Arabia is adamant on using 10W-40 on Camry hybrids with these A25A. Why they do that...... I have no idea.
Boy it sure is a lot easier working on these four cylinder engines. Only thing I would add would be if the car is pretty old with a lot of miles or specifically if the rubber gasket under the coil looks a bit beat up or has been oil saturated. Sometimes worth looking down into the spark plug hole and blowing it out with compressed air or brake parts cleaner and then compressed air to make sure there isn't any trash down in the spark plug well. You pull the spark plug out and the junk falls down into the cylinder chamber. Pretty uncommon in newer cars. My 13-year-old Prius is 372,000 on it and the spark plug holes are still nice and dry. But it's a good practice to check.
great video as always! i would not want to have to replace the valve cover gasket on one of these. i had mine swapped out on my 2AR-FE in under an hour but on the A25A you have the fuel pump and line in the way
Please show us how to properly do a coolant flush and fill!l by ourselves! I heard it’s different because of the valves that direct coolant differently.
I have a question. I have a 2018 Toyota Corolla I store during the winter. I’m getting ready to take out of storage. Should I remove the spark plugs and spray a little “fogging oil” before I start it. It’s been sitting for almost 6 months. I will be changing the oil as well.
Thank you for your video explanation. You mentioned the tools needed to open the spark plugs and provided your recommendations. Could you please share the link to those tools? I have a 2019 RAV4 with 90,000 km on it, and it's started shutting off due to spark plug issues. Thank you!
Greetings from Austin. LOVE the audio tone on the torque wrench, brilliant idea. But I wonder why Toyota Engineering decided to go from 10mm to 8mm on those ignition coils?...Did someone decide they could save money? Just seems odd. Great video, thanks~!
No clue and the best part is that they still have the same thread size and pitch as the old bolts that had a 10mm head. Maybe save a little bit of weight?
As the vehicles with this engine are coming up in mileage, PCV valve needs to be checked and/or replaced. The intake manifold has to be removed in order to get to it. Can you please make a video on how to remove the intake manifold? I have a 2018 Camry with 70k miles.
Thanks Ahmed! Question. 19 Camry hybrid says to change them every 6 years or 96,000 Km but what if I only happened to drive perhaps 30-40k only during that timeframe ?
There is extra emphasis on getting genuine OEM spark plugs from the Toyota dealership. I tend to consider any spark plug bought on Amazon/eBay to be fake without even needing to look at it. It's also possible to find out the OEM make and model of the plug and buy it from a reputable site or a brick and mortar shop. The '20 Rav 4 manual says that they are DENSO FC16HR-Q8. So if you can find the equivalent DENSO branded spark plug, it would be the exact same item sold at the dealership. It might even be cheaper, but no guarantees.
Car Care Nut needs to open a chain or Toyota Car Care Nut service stations across the nation..I want to take my new 2024 Camry to him for all of its servicing needs. 😁👍
Well, they tried to keep the injector noise level down with the engine cover padding on the underside as well as the padding under the hood but it needs more. The other method is to have the radio produce the opposite frequency of the engine noise even when the radio is off thereby canceling it out.
Thanks again sir. I have a question. Toyota highlander 2013 left side sunroof drains are clogged. Water piles up on the floor when it rain/car wash. Can i put some plumbing drain opener like Drano clog remover to remove clogged holes? Also i appreciate as you said earlier that you are going to make a video about it. Thanks for all the help and efforts.
Hi! On those highlanders by the kick panel there's a small pocket inside the car that has an opening. That opening always gets clogged not the drain itself. Kinda hard to get to it and see it.
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks a lot. I figured it out as you told me. There is a wiring box. I took it out. I checked inside of it by an endoscopy camera. All i saw was water in there. I put my hand inside and dried it with towels. When it was completely dried out i put around 500ml of plumbing drain opener (drano). Waited for 30 minutes and then poured some hot boiling water. It worked for me. Now it is not clogged anymore.. hey thanks for your tips. 👍👍.
could you do a video on jacking and positioning jack stands on the Gen 2 and 3 Prius? A DIYer can easily cause significant damage to a nice expensive toyota by jacking and supporting in the wrong places. Not to mention bodily injury to ones self. Thank you in advance
Checked my plugs, 2 have oil on threads on my 18 A25a Camry. Do you have a video on the valve cover gasket replacement? Looks like it has a lot going on on top lol. Love your videos man
For me, that rubber socket insert falls out after a while- I use a 10” or so length of 5/16” fuel hose after loosening the plug with the socket, slip the hose over the plug and spin it the rest of the way and it stays in the hose.
Hello, awesome channel!!! I have 2011 V6 Camry ( original owner ) with 240,000 miles - zero engine or transmission leaks or issues. Does not burn oil. Still performs as good as new... It still has original components like - coolant pump, alternator, coil packs, O2 sensors. Have not replaced anything other than regular motor oil & transmission oil changes with filters, spark plugs, coolant + coolant hoses, thermostat, serpentine belt & CV axle boots. Do you think I should start replacing some items as preventative maintenance?? If yes, which ones should I start with?? Thank you!
AMD, I wonder if you could show installation of a block heater on the latest series of Rav4 Hybrids? If you could, that would be awesome for us folks living in the great white north. Thanks in advance!
hi amd, hope you doing well, wondering if I tighten the new spark plugs by any suckit or so, then brought the torque wrench to torque it at spec, is there any chance that the spark plugs has been overtighten? I mean, you already tighten it by -let's say- 5 ft-pound, then you applied 15 ft-pound, it's gonna 20, or is there any something has been misunderstood? pls explain in detail, thx.
The important thing which needs emphasising is you put the plugs in with your fingers just like AMD did in the video, you do not use the wrench until you have screwed the plugs in a few turns until they are finger tight. On engines like this you must use the socket and extension but don't start with the wrench. Also I do plugs slightly differently to AMD, when I first put them in I turn them the wrong way for a turn or two just to make sure the threads are seated correctly then I turn them the correct way.
I have a 2022 Corolla Apex 2.2 liter 4 cylinder. It takes 0W16 synthetic oil. The dealer says the oil change interval is every 10K miles. Can I safely change the oil in this car every 10K miles or should I change it at a lower interval? Please advise. Should I use BG MOA oil additive every oil change interval? The car has about 25K miles. Thank you!
@@TheCarCareNut Hey, thanks for responding. I’m watching the video of the older V6 right now, but I’m particularly interested in the newer V6. I’ll look out for the new video. Love your videos by the way.
Is it a good idea to replace the valve cover gasket with a spark plug change on a A25A in particular. Or would u wait ti later? I have a little over 96k currently on my A25A
Did all 2019 corollas, including the hatchbacks come with the 'beauty cover' 'cause mine doesn't have it? I have not done the maintenance during the first 2 years where it had free maintenance included so, I don't know for sure it they somehow lost it at the stealership or not.
Need to ask u a question I see u Amazon store they is 12pt spark plug socket and 6pt which one u recommended but also has 9/16 socket for spark plugs for 6pt
PLEASE HELP…. I have a question. I have a 2018 Toyota Corolla I store during the winter. I’m getting ready to take out of storage. Should I remove the spark plugs and spray a little “fogging oil” before I start it. It’s been sitting for almost 6 months. I will be changing the oil as well.
What do you mean by not using NICs when installing the new spark plugs? I’m planning on using a little anti seaze that the dealer said would be ok. Is that what you meant? Thanks for your videos.
Why no anti seize on the spark plugs? Are the plugs stainless steel and the cylinder head aluminum or what? I wonder if Toyota uses NGK plugs in these new engines. 🤔
Thanks for the videos. How much does that digital torque wrench run? Do you have to send that off for calibration every year? Is that the case with all them? Any that don't need to be calibrated so often? I've always bought cheap ones from Harbor Freight, and unless I'm missing something, it's cheaper just to buy a new one than to send it off for calibration. I've seen the diy calibration tests and adjustments but wonder if that's a good idea.
Not every knowledgable technician has good communication skills. This man has both.
I have an 2018 Camry, just turned 60,000 miles. Dealer wanted a ridiculous price to change 4 spark plugs. Bought plugs from dealer, followed your video and changed myself. It went flawlessly, very easy to do. Thank you for these videos.

Can I safely change the oil in this car every 10K miles or should I change it at a lower interval? Please advise. Should I use BG MOA oil additive every oil change interval? The car has about 25K miles. Thank you!
Could you tell me the torque for 2017 prius two eco? Thanks a lot. Your channel is awesome
Do you have a video on tundra spark plugs? Need to replace mine but I’m a lil nervous lol
How about a video of a plug change on the 3.5 L V6?
Hi john. Here’s a video I did on the older 3.5 v6 and the new v6 coming soon th-cam.com/video/ING-RK7NJ-c/w-d-xo.html
@@TheCarCareNut Hey, thanks for responding. I’m watching the video of the older V6 right now, but I’m particularly interested in the newer V6. I’ll look out for the new video. Love your videos by the way.
@@johnlegge8829 yes the new one would be awesome!! Thank you
Now THAT was helpful.
Is there a reason why you don't use antiseize?
Is it a good idea to replace the valve cover gasket with a spark plug change on a A25A in particular. Or would u wait ti later? I have a little over 96k currently on my A25A
Did all 2019 corollas, including the hatchbacks come with the 'beauty cover' 'cause mine doesn't have it? I have not done the maintenance during the first 2 years where it had free maintenance included so, I don't know for sure it they somehow lost it at the stealership or not.
I have a 21 and it's a m20a-fks, not they camry engine he's working on here. There is no cover for ours.
Need to ask u a question I see u Amazon store they is 12pt spark plug socket and 6pt which one u recommended but also has 9/16 socket for spark plugs for 6pt
is it necessary to reset the car computer after replacing the spark plugs?
Great, I need to wait another 117,500 more miles before i do mine :) lol
PLEASE HELP….
I have a question. I have a 2018 Toyota Corolla I store during the winter. I’m getting ready to take out of storage. Should I remove the spark plugs and spray a little “fogging oil” before I start it. It’s been sitting for almost 6 months. I will be changing the oil as well.
What do you mean by not using NICs when installing the new spark plugs? I’m planning on using a little anti seaze that the dealer said would be ok. Is that what you meant? Thanks for your videos.
Why no anti seize on the spark plugs? Are the plugs stainless steel and the cylinder head aluminum or what? I wonder if Toyota uses NGK plugs in these new engines. 🤔
Thanks for the videos. How much does that digital torque wrench run? Do you have to send that off for calibration every year? Is that the case with all them? Any that don't need to be calibrated so often? I've always bought cheap ones from Harbor Freight, and unless I'm missing something, it's cheaper just to buy a new one than to send it off for calibration. I've seen the diy calibration tests and adjustments but wonder if that's a good idea.
Do you use grease around the spark plug threads?
