- A Toyota Master Tech conducts a 30k service on my 3rd Gen Tacoma and changes out the spark plugs as part of the service.. We end up finding Finding a loose spark-plug, and find “blow by” on an ignition coil.. check your spark plugs on your 3rd GEN Tacoma’s and make sure that the factory didn’t send you your Tacoma with loose plugs!! A 60k service could be too long to wait to check your plugs!

Auto mechanic turned design engineer here with over 30 years experience. What he did with the plugs is totally fine. Started by hand, light torque on drill and hand torqued at the end. The plastic oil filter housing removal was also fine. That plastic housing gets so tight not from people over tightening but from different expansion and contraction rates between the plastic filter housing and the aluminum engine. the shock the hammer and screw driver has, loosens the housing a lot easier than potentially cracking it with a cup slipping under excessive torque. In my experience even a hand tightened plastic housing becomes seized again and really packing some axle or that assembly grease he uses on the threads will make it come off easier next time. An aluminum housing would be best as it will expand and contract at the same rate as the aluminum component it’s attaching to.
I ratchet snug used never seize on all 10 mm bolts & spread little silicone paste on coil stems. Some were stuck on dry hard to remove.
40k truck and its half plastic smh
Having a guy like Jason who knows Toyota's is a gem. I wish I had a local "Jason" in my area of Michigan. All we have are high $$$ shops that claim to be knowledgeable on Toyota's. Great video, Thanks!!!
same deal in TacomaHA
Maintenance is lesson of this videos like he said MAINTENCE is way cheaper than fixing a breakdown great videos made me think of a few things I need to do 👍🇺🇸
Great having a mechanic like Jason care about his clients investment 👍
💯.. whenever you post videos like this there are always people that rip the mechanic apart.. it’s just the nature of the beast.. but Jason is honestly an amazing mechanic and a super honest guy with a plentiful amount of knowledge.
@@westcoasttaco I hope I can find a guy like Jason.
If this guys is a master mechanic then I’m a world renowned cardiac surgeon. I would never let this person near my lawn mower nevermind my truck. He has no idea what he’s doing.
😂😂😂😂 damn that’s harsh lol. I just do all this shit at home . It’s easy enough and you know it’s getting done right .
Agreed. Only guy I probably consider to work on my FJ Cruiser due to outside my skillset or availability of specialized tools is the Car Care Nut. This guy...yeah, no.
Yep! Watched the first video. When he busted out the channel locks, then a hammer and chisel to take off the oil filter canister I was done. The more you watch him the worse he gets. The reason this guy doesn't have a steady gig at a dealership isn't because he wants to be a good guy for the customers, its because he breaks more stuff than he fixes.
Thanks for the video and breaking down what to look for with possible loose plugs. I have a 2017 Tacoma that I bought new. 246k miles, changed the plugs at 100k each time.
I loved this guy! Jason is a very detailed person. Although, I am puzzled why he doesn't have the proper tool to remove the oil filter. I have 2rd Gen Tacoma and doesn't require any special tool, but once in a while friends or relatives with one of these non-spin on type. Channel lock, I don't know, should only be use in pipes??? Overall, the guy does a GREAT JOB!
He doesn't normally do Oil Changes, so he has never needed one. Most of his jobs are pure suspension upgrades. I have had my Tundra (that he has worked on) for 16 years and haven't ALWAYS used the filter tool when doing oild changes on my own.. This comment is a non issue to anyone that owns MULTIPLE Toyota trucks as the oil change can be completed just fine, without. Anyone commenting on his skill set based upon that ONE tool, is a tool, sorry. He has worked on my Tundra (trying to diagnose a noisy suspension squeek), he installed an Eibach Pro Truck Stage 1 kit on my 5th Gen 4runner and later replaced both wheel bearings and spark plugs and... he took in my 2016 Honda Civic that had a non functional Power Steering issue which he later found to be a chewed wire harness from a rodent. That repair cost me a FRACTION of ANY other shop and everything worked PERFECT after Jason completed the repairs. I won't take my vehicles to ANYONE else, if possible.
Good vids !!!!! OEM is the way to go. No reason to cut corners on 50k rigs.
💯 well said!
You're wasting your money on several things. Plugs are not to be replaced until 100K. You can remove them to clean them and possibly re-gap them. Using a drill to drive in spark plugs is dangerous. You can easily cross thread them and then you are f**ked. Not to mention wiping out the thread on the head being stripped. Diff fluid and tranny fluid 60K is fine. Except for the front diff, which looked like you took in water, I'd check the fluid and if it's still gold in color, plug her back and ride until 60K. I've owned Tacomas and even early 4WD pickups before they were called Tacoma, and I have gotten almost 300k from them doing practical maintenance with zero issues. In fact, I've never had one truck bite the bullet as I have sold them before that could happen.
This guy ain't no master tech😂 I have 2014 Tacoma with original spark plug with 170k miles. Original plug are 120k miles. Unless u have a small miss fire, don't change the plug.
Remember the Hilux
Mine had the mid-year change were they moved the blinkers from a top of the fender to down below by the grill
Came here to say all of this
@@khangtruong4515Plugs are good for the life of the engine or at least the majority of its life.
My 2021 Tacoma owners manual says change plugs every 60k miles, I am about to change mine.
Yeah, I agree with Joey Nutting, I have watched several video's on how to change the transmission oil and I'm still confused. My one complaint about my 2012 5th Gen 4Runner is the difficulty and the difference in opinion and confusion at changing the transmission oil! And, in my opinion ALL dealerships regardless of manufacturer are Liars, Cheats and Thieves!!!
I’ll get a thorough video of it with him doing it so we can put that to bed. Stay tuned and I’ll try to get something done within the next few weeks for you 🤙🏼
@@westcoasttaco Thank you, I look forward to it.
What’s confusing ? Just drain and refill , flushes aren’t recommended . There are several videos on TH-cam with steps showing how to check the transmission fluid level when the car gets to the optimal temperature .
Not all dealerships, however most! Sucks you live around shitty one’s!!
If you go to a Dealership, it’s best to ask for a seasoned Vet. If they have any, they are most likely to be honest and do honest work! If they have none and they are all kids, RUN!!! This guy sounds cool and talks to people ok, but he is full of shit. Also never ani seize spark plugs, not advised by the manufacturer!!!!
Nice content. This is excellent access. Tell Jason that we said thanks!
Thanks and will do 👍🏼👍🏼
That wasn’t 12-14 foot pounds just so you know. I don’t think he overtightened them so much that anything would happen but 100% there was like 20-30 foot pounds on at least one of those plugs. Usually with a NEW spark plug that has a crush washer, you tighten it finger tight with only the extension and then no more than 1/2 a turn after that. You’ll easily feel it crush the gasket and get much harder to turn almost suddenly. Then you’re done
I feel good now hearing I did it correctly. However, I will never use any impact drill!
From someone who does their own maintenance, I got to say there was some cringe worthy moments in there. Looked and sounded like he dropped a spark plug down the tube. Then all the tightening spark plug components with an impact gun. Reusing crush washers because "the other side was still good". Like only one side crushes when you tighten it down? Removing a plastic oil filter housing with channel locks. Probably all good but I'm am a bit of a perfectionist. I would die if someone did that to my truck.
OMG the spark plug install with an impact....what the heck was that?!?
how about the NON-USE of protective fender covers??
then it magically appears at 20minutes in
MY heart dropped when he drilled that plug in 😢😂😂 noo hand tightened then turn it until snug , because he could have drilled it and the treads are not correct sitting in
It’s all good 👍🏼 bro🤣 he starts them off with his hand on the socket extension and then uses the drill to get them in further until he uses the torque wrench to tighten them to correct spec. Honestly I’m not personably comfortable with using a drill on my plugs.. but I trust Jason and his 30 years of working on Tacomas to know that he is very confident in his abilities and isn’t risking anything that would jeopardize my truck.. now if the drill was the first thing he used and would have been cranking them down thenI would have been worried🤣, but all good🤙🏼
@@westcoasttaco 😂😂😂😂💯💯🤝
Yes, a lot of cringy stuff going on.
@@seanpop2886 No torque spec used either even in the previous video. Either he trust his drill or his hand has been calibrated to read torque? Reason why I don't take my Taco to the dealer for maintenance.
@@westcoasttaco He literally says he doesn't use torque wrenches. I'd keep my shit away from him.
People can nit pick anything. That mechanic seems good. Some of the milage recommendations are on the conservative side just to play it safe etc. which I get. he comes off as a cool dude that anyone would like working on their stuff. I’ve had 3 different Toyota dealers over the last 25 years not fix or make a problem worse or miss a problem on my Tacoma or fj cruiser. I think they struggle to find enough good employees at the dealers to keep up with demand.
First... 3RD GEN Tacomas spark plugs are replace at 60K and no need for anti-seize
Second.... every time the transfer case, the rear diff oil are replaced you must replace the drain plug washers. none of that was replaced.
Third ....for the price of the DENSO spark plugs just get the OEM spark plugs for the same price .
Fourth... CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC have the correct tools to perform the repairs , not pliers and a pry bar to remove the oil filter housing, BTW no need to put whatever that grease was put on the oil housing.
Fifth.... if you do all those repairs at any Toyota dealer ( yes they are pricey) you have warranty
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS.... SO MANY ERRORS.
So far you are the only person on here that can smell bullshit 😅😅
????? 90% of the comments are negative@@Miles-o2i
@@Miles-o2i I smell it too!
DID NOT NEET PLUGS PERIOD. 75k sure. The iridium is super hard and does not erode like standard plugs. Cool pack it fine. It gets hot in there. If there’s an issue you’d know. Plus it’s be under warranty. My sequoia has 300k and one coil has a crack in it and needs replaced. But does not misfire at all. I want to see the Master Tech ASE certs. Every Toyota tech I know does not do this stuff. Not saying it’s all bad but if He went through T-Ten “Toyota training” he’d have the plaque
Use GL4 in the Transfer Case NOT GL5,..... Big issue there! Same as the manual transmission, GL4 ONLY.
Spark Plugs made for the 3.5 have a coating on the threads so "Anti-Seize" is not recommended.
agree with gl4 only. i called oil companys for their faq on gl5 oils and they stated that yes gl5 actually dissolves yellow metals which are found inside of our TC. i used royal purple gearmax btw 75 90
Everything was going well until he started removing the oil filter housing with a pair of pliers... OMG! FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER MECHANIC.
Yep. I could not pick him on a lot of things but the one thing I can’t let go is letting the butterfly plate on the throttle body slam shut. Ouch.
Ya says he’s a master tech but doesn’t own a oil filter cup like cmon!
😮 Got to get one of those oil filter housing tools
Mine cost me 15 dollars last night 9/21/23
Right! I bought one a tool to remove the oil housing on Amazon, works wonders lol
Anyone supporting this comment, is a TOOL. If you can't do an oil change on your Toyota without that tool, you're pretty weak. I've done a DOZEN oil changes on my Tundra without it. Still runs great... even with dumbass Keyboard warrior's TH-cam comments. You can get the same results with a 3/8's extension, clowns.
30,000-50,000mi. first interval replacement yes. If coils look good no need replace. Switch to irdium tip ngk or denso spark plugs 80,000-100,000mi intervals. Change coils. 🤙
Most new cars can easily go 80-100k miles on plugs, seems like overkill at 30k but to each is own. If your plugs are not working properly you will throw a code or the engine would not be running good.
When I saw the channel locks come out for the oil filter I cringed so hard lol they do make a special tool specific for that oil filter..... And then the final cringe was the cordless impact on the spark plugs lol oh boy..... I get it, he did start them by hand and finish tightening by hand but still...... Risky lol I actually like his service interval recommendations. Because of those recommendations they found the front diff needed service pretty bad and also that coil pack and plug issue.
Agreed.. But overall did a great job!
Came across your video lucky i change mine spark plug at 60k.one spark plug is loose and wasn’t torque to spec i own a 2020 trd pro taco. After changing the spark plug and torque to speck I get less gear hunting and now I’m avg. 23-25 when I commute to work. If you going up a small hill the taco should not gear hunt at all. Check your spark plug guys
Yikes glad i do my own maintenance, some informative things tho 👍
W/ your experience and others (Tacoma World).... just took out all my 6 coils on my 2021 TRD OR Tacoma (24,500 - early, but wanted a look- you did make me "paranoid" ;) No blow-by on all 6. While I was in there changed all 6 spark plugs.
Glad to hear all was well! Honestly I would have done the same thing if I were you.. it’s hard not to wonder what’s going on in there, especially after my experience and the experience of others.. sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry.. 👍🏼 At least you now get to sleep alittle better at night and won’t have to worry about plugs for quite some time.
@@westcoasttaco 100% - Plus, it's only gonna get hotter here in OK (hoodie free zone from May on) rather sweat less now. 😅Yep, it was good to know definitely.
Re :Jason's take on 30K maybe "overkill" for spark plug change (paraphrasing - " @50K you are definitely seeing performance degrade on plugs even w/ iridium, and w/ the price of gas" - btw, I bought the OEM ones as you both recommended 👍) - I swear to you, my engine sounds a tad quieter and smoother - a tighter sound, if you will. No regrets. Your videos are helping us owners 🤛
@@westcoasttaco Been meaning to tell you this one - Re: all those over the top anal comments about Jason "is doing this wrong, he won't touch my truck" blah blah blah...
I'm 30+ year licensed falconer - an old, pithy saying in falconry: "There's only 1 thing 2 falconers agree on: That the 3rd falconer is doing it wrong! Those negative comments so smacked of that. 😜
@@tim3308 whenever you post a video with a mechanic in it, you are 100% guaranteed to have those comments 🤣.. honestly, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and it doesn’t bother me at all. If you lined up 10 mechanics and asked them all the same question and recommendation about the same job every one of of them would come back with a different answer.. it’s just how it goes.
@@westcoasttaco Likely so. I can be less diplomatic - it's not my channel. 😉Ever seen the video where a Prof is teaching class - a "staged" robber comes in, grabs her purse, then runs out? Class is then asked to fill out a description of the thief (an experiment). The results are semi depressing how many are off and differ greatly from each other. People.😐
Ngk and Denso Recommend zero lubricant on threads of spark plugs.. Surprise it hasn’t caused a misfire putting that copper paste on there!!
Correct. They supposedly come with a light film of anti-seize new.
just as great as part 1.
I get the plugs directly through Toyota. They’re actually pretty reasonable.
Did he install the spark plugs with a drill? Not started by hand or with a socket? Cross thread possibilities!!!!
He started them by hand, then tightened 80% with the drill and then tightened by hand til spec👍🏼🤙🏼.
Bro 26k spark plug change. This is such a joke, he is a joker.
There is a huge difference between 12 ft/lbs when spark plug is “dry” and when you use anti-seize.
Really !
Exactly. Many people don’t know that.
Wow this. Guy is a good talker, all you sheep buy into his BS!!!
I do not like working with someone watching and talking to me the whole time. amazing patience for this mechanic. what's that old saying? $100 an hour if you watch, $150 if you help, $500 if you tell me how to do it?
Using an impact to drive in spark plugs is stupid and insane.
Kansas dealer price is nearly 450$ for this v6 spark plug change on Gen3... not sure about a Gen1 3.4
The long handle ratchet is definitely not a good idea when you’re “hand torquing” 12 lbs!
That anti seize is questionable on some plugs especially iridium type
Why is that?
same, I started questioning everything as soon as he started using the impact.
bro i dont give a damn what this man says, that is NOT hand tight, mans put an extra UNGA in that. all these years of experience and not a torque wrench in sight
My 2022 Tacoma with 6k miles screams check my plugs/oil/ change em
Never hurts to get everything checked out.. I highly recommend people check their spark plugs to make sure they are tightened all the way.. really glad I got mine done at 26k and not at 50k.. just my personal preference though.
I got really nervous every time he use the drill to snug the spark plug.
🤣 you will notice he didn’t use a high impact drill.. he still had to tighten the plugs with the torque wrench after using the drill. 👍🏼
@@westcoasttaco still get nervous, it’s just a first for me. 😂
@@javierramos9795 he doesn’t have much tools
Vehicles must confuse you a lot.
hand tight means a lot of things like you said, would be nice if you got the actual torque spec for them and use a torque wrench, otherwise i wont be able to sleep at night 🤣😂
12-14 ft lbs👍🏼 I mentioned it in the part where he put the new plugs in. Sleep well my friend 😂
@@westcoasttaco nice, yeah I gotta know the torque spec of every bolt when I work on my car. Only way I can sleep 😴
That's a lot more than 12-14lbs of torque
No anti seize on spark plugs.
Finally you dropped it 😂
Yep! Was waiting for the ignition coil etc.. 👍🏼 told you there was a twist 🤣
Did he do a transmission drain and fill for you as well? Would love to observe that. I think he mentioned that in Part 1?
I like to see that as well.
He did that for me several months ago for me, but not on this video. I’ll have him do it again soon and make sure to get a video of it for you guys. He said it’s a good idea to do a drain and fill every 10-15k.
@@westcoasttaco does the same interval for AT drain go for the Gen2 Taco 4 bangar?
@@westcoasttaco Wow that seems overkill. I usually do trans, transfer case & front, and rear diff at 60,000 miles on my 09 Taco now 193,000 miles no issues with my truck.
@@HB-yq8gy since I bought the truck used, I wanted to have everything done just for a peace of mind. I’ve always been on the “over service” side with all of my vehicles.. probably a lot of it wasn’t necessary, but it’s just how I am. You got to do what works for you and is within your comfort level 🤙🏼
I’ma do my spark plugs and diff changes at 50k . 30 k is early
Right on👍🏼, gotta do what’s best and makes the most sense for you.. glad I did mine now.. especially with the front diff oil being the way it was and the ignition coil having “blow by” on it..
I looked it up 12 ft lbs of torque
Your doing some of these services way to early
Sure, but I am glad I did this one as early as I did.. I bought this truck used with 23,000 miles, I wanted the peace of mind knowing that everything was in good shape and that the spark plugs weren’t having any issues.. ended up finding that loose plug with blowby on it.. so I’m really glad I took Jason’s advice and did them when I did them. But.. everybody has their own preferences and recommendations. You have to do what makes the most sense to you and is within your comfort levels. I would rather service too often then find out I waited too long for something and have damage occur. That’s just me though..👍🏼
Jason is definitely Mr.Good Wrench but got confused with the type of spark plug. It's the dealer-recommended plugs the way to go? For my second gen, I did the spark plugs at 160,000 miles. I was afraid of over tighten so racket slug was good enough assuming. Thanks for your honest tips.
He used the same spark plugs you should receive from the dealership. They were the OEM ones, they just weren’t packaged in the Toyota/Lexus packaging.
Find another mechanic. No drill
Why do you have to change plugs at only 30k ? Toyota says change them at 60-100k
You don’t have to by any means, but we decided to do them earlier. Since I’m the second owner of the vehicle I wanted to have everything done to ensure their weren’t any issues.
Thanks for the video. What wheels are on your Tacoma.
My pleasure! They are the 16” 2nd version Tacoma TRD Pro Wheels.
Thank you for sharing this information will save me a lot of time very soon 💯
My pleasure 🤙🏼!
N o recall Ford recalls every item to keep u safe!
Master tech 🤔 ??
Using anti-seize on spark plugs. Yikes. Then thinking you are going to be able to torque the plugs properly after putting on anti-seize, double yikes.
No way!
Why waste money if still under warranty. No anti seize recommended!
Ok I looked up that ignition coil, and the price over the phone is more than msrp, my local dealer is selling it for $94.68 AND they price match from their website. So dealers parts cost less on their website than in person
The msrp is $124.98 how are they charging $150
My guess is that they try to take advantage of people that are on the phone and don’t realize what the prices actually are on the website.. and they make a profit or some type of commission.. who knows? Essentially the only reason I knew they were up charging that part is because of how much I was getting it for online.
Sorry but I would never trust a guy that use an impact tool on a 10mm bolt. Plug never go for anything else beside the denso plugs, they were engineered to meet certain spec. Also that coil doesn't look like it need replacing 😁
Recently got a used 3rd gen Tacoma at about 17000 miles, I happen to live in the SoCal area. How much does he charge for a 30k service like this plus transmission fluid drain and fill?
Congrats! I would recommend reaching out to him and asking. If I recall it was around $100.00 for the drain and fills (I brought my own fluids). Let him know how you got his info. Jason: 760-566-6157
Spark plugs change at 27k miles? 🤦🏻♂️ well, if some one has the money, might as well do the oil change every 1000k miles haha
I'm a weekend DIY dummy but seeing these guys use the impact wrench on these small bolts always makes me cringe. My Taco's skid plate bolts were all cross threaded by the neanderthal at the dealer doing my oil changes probably from using an impact wrench and not starting it by hand.
Every decent hand drill has a clutch setting to prevent torquing the shit out of your bolts. Just use that if the excuse of using an impact is speed. Start it by hand, use the drill w/clutch and finish with torque or by hand.
Just started watching video. Not over yet but what was the condition of spark plugs? What code if any would come up during a diagnostic for the coil situation? Thank you for sharing. 👏🏽👍🏽👊🏽
All of the spark plugs looked the same except for the 2nd one… which we think was loose and caused the blow by on the coil. I think it’s p30xx the xx would be which ever cylinder is misfiring 03,04 etc..👍🏼🤙🏼
You were definitely losing combustion.
I got a 22 with 25,000 miles I was getting 21-22mpg now 18 I’m wondering if it might be the plugs, after seeing that coil
It’s worth looking into, at least for the peace of mind.
that highway or city?
@@uberleet01 high way
built in mexico strikes again!
No joke!
did he mention anything about setting the gap for the new ones?
He verified the gap before installing. All of them were spot on 👍🏼🤙🏼
You should not set the gap, but yea should always verified...
Well, we’re they loose or not? Just learn how to do your own maint. Can’t believe you replaced that coil…. That would be a warranty item
Come to Hawaii 🤙🏽
Which island??🤙🏼
@westcoasttaco Oahu🤙🏽. I had commented on 1 of your other videos about the OTT tune. So alot people here have their 3rd Gen's tuned.
Signs of ware May be the person he bought it from abused the truck! 14:17
Your red screwy text is terrible
I guess if you like to waste money unnecessarily, this video is for you.
Omg you are pliers dude
😂i can see some poor sucker watching this and using this impact gun on those spark plugs. Spark plugs need 150lbs of impact to be tight.
Wow yours look terrible I just changed my at 92,000 and mines were way cleaner 😬
You dismantle the plugs and the camera on the other hand. You did not announce how many years the car was made. You did not explain disassembling the parts until you reach the plugs. Sorry, not a good video. Many mistakes. You did not even announce the size of the plug plug. These mistakes must be overcome in the other video.
30 bucks a plug ? Dude is lying through the skin of his teeth
1. Talking shit about other people, places, and scoffing isn't a good thing, and comes off as douchy.
2. Bragging and doing all the "talking" raises red flags because the work isn't matching the "talking."
3. As many have mentioned, this "master" does a lot of things that aren't really at that level. Knowledgeable, but nothing impressive, on the contrary, the stuff he does is average.
The real question is how much did you pay this "master" and did you get a discount for making the vids? If so, how much does he charge for this job?
Everything from your superficial "I am helping other taco owners" to him selling you his "words" just smells fishier than bad poon poon.
FYI, I checked out the tacomaworld forums, his threads, his website, and his pics.
The whole thing comes off as some joe smoe mechanic who caught a lot of big fish on the tacomaworld forums.
Tacoma owners are interesting breeds too, I never understood the "money dumping" behavior on a reliable pickup truck.
the guy who does my lawn roll-up in his taco would joke that those fancy tacomas are basically"taco bell" or "gringo tacos"
My 2 cents is that this is not "all that." And Isn't 100% transparent.
Hi.
I changed my spark plugs yesterday and I had same experience with one of my coil , that was the middle one on passenger side.
Interesting.. what year is yours and how many miles?
Not the same spark plug but better?? This guy is very concerning.
No such thing as hand tight spark plug. There's torque specs. Geez bad video. Nice guys but wow are you off.
This guy is a master mechanic like I am a brain surgeon. First he did not use a torque wrench to install the spark plugs, second you do not use a drill to install any of these bolts. Every service he performs there is something wrong in what he is doing. Take your truck to someone else and save your truck.......
I put 200k miles on a Toyota venza v6 and never changed the spark plugs. Also, only changed transmission, coolant, and differential fluids once around 125k
No issues. Thanks Toyota!
Sounds like that Coil should have been warrantied out instead of paid for tbh.
I probably could have gotten it under warranty, but didn’t feel like jumping through the hoops.. also wanted to be able to do a video on what was going on and how to fix it yourself.. especially for people that are out of warranty etc👍🏼.
Why is this guy using an impact? Use a regular socket and a good extension. Also use a torque wrench the plugs should be 15lbs
No torque on plugs
