Question: Do you know the torque spec for the spark plugs?
I never knew you were supposed to change your Toyota plugs in a river or waterfall. Learn something new every day.
It was pouring out during this video..lol
That’s just the Tundra pissing “excellence”
Thanks for the video. Removing the air box cover makes the passenger side almost as easy the Drivers side. It only takes a minute to remove.
Glad it helped
I just did the plugs on my Tundra a couple of weeks ago. It super easy if you have a 3 inch wobble extension. On the passenger side remove the air intake hose, unbolt the airbox and just flip it up onto the intake cover. There a couple wiring harness clips that you can remove from their mounts to ease removal of the coils. The front and back cylinders if I remember right.
Yeah, It's not that bad of a job to change the spark plugs on these Toyota Tundra engines. Plus you will save a ton of money by doing it yourself. Have a great day!
@@HomeOwnerRepair dealer wants $470 for my 2012 LTD 5.7 Tundra screw it Thanks for the Video
@@HomeOwnerRepairYou ain't kidding $549 at the Dealership!
Much appreciated sir ‼️
Remove the rubber grommet in the spark plug socket when you tighten the new ones in that way your socket doesn’t get STUCK just remember to put it back in the socket.
Thank you for watching our Toyota Tundra spark plug replacement video.
Always nice to see what most dealerships "don't" do is lubricate everything on reassembly. Appreciate you taking the time to film. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe!
What type of lubricate do we need?
@@77icky dielectric grease
Old school is best always
Just got a 2010 in great shape but wanted to change the spark plugs. I wasn’t sure how hard it would be. Thank you for making this video
Glad I could help
I changed the plugs on my 2019 at 75k miles. When I pulled the original ones they looked like they needed to be replaced until I looked at the iridium tips where spark occurs and they were shiny clean, amazing. I put the new ones in anyway but the originals were actually fine.
Thanks for checking out this auto repair video. Hope it helped you out.
Thanks guy! Saved me some $. I was nervous about that passenger side
The whole job it not that bad. It's a fairly easy truck to change the spark plugs on. Hope the video helps you out.
Just changed my plugs watched your video,came out great did the hard side first passenger side I haven’t changed my plugs in 7 yrs when bought the truck had 120,000 miles tundra has 190,560 miles on it the plugs were denso iridium plugs I’m wondering if they were original.2008 tundra ,thank you so much for this video used all the techniques in your video.

Thank You for the video and links.
You're welcome
Thank you, best video ever. Well done and explained.
Thank you for watching our auto repair video that shows you how to replace the spark plugs on a 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra.
The 5.7 engine cover is a great tool holder lol
Yes it is..lol
Great tutorial. But I recommend do not put antiseize on the threads if you buy quality spark plugs. Having antiseize on spark plugs can affect the conductivity of the ground. Also, it make the plugs sit in tighter than it should be when you torque it.
In 35 years of using this method we have never had an issue.
Anti Seize is dielectric grease. It's not going to cause an issue
Brodix aftermarket alum head mfg. voids their warranty if you DONT use neverseize on the threads. Aluminum fine threads cross thread and strip easily w/o lube. As long as you use it sparingly on the threads only, the seat of the plug gives plenty of surface contact for an electrical ground.
Must not live in North, we coat everything
I found using 2 locking 3" extensions (3/8" drive) made by Gear Wrench (Amazon) and a normal 5/8" spark plug socket allowed me to remove/install all 8 spark plugs on a 2017 Sequoia 5.7 engine.
Thanks for the added tip!
Everywhere that I'm reading says don't get dielectric grease on the metal terminal at the top of the spark plug. If you put the dielectric grease inside the end of the coil pack boot, doesn't this get grease on the metal terminal when pushing the boot back on the spark plug and possibly comprising the spark?
Dielectric grease it made for this environment and helps to keep the moisture out of the spark plug boot.
Take out the breather box on the driver side takes a couple mins and saves alot of frustration
Thanks for the added tip!
Is that the intake? Or something else?
Didn't want to replace the ignition coils at the same time?
When it comes to the ignition coils on newer vehicles, we typically only replace them when they fail. Parts these days are HORRIBLE. So if they are working correctly you should be fine with just a spark plug swap. Hope this helps out. Have a great day!
Thanks for this! I got 118K on my 2007, I guess im due.
Thanks for watching
@@HomeOwnerRepair any compelling reason i need to change coils
I just changed my plugs started ran for a few seconds then shut off and now I’m getting PO351 through PO358 codes and it won’t start….I’ve went through everything 3 times now and nothing is out of place going to check connections with test light to make sure I’m getting what I need there….any other suggestions?
Did you disconnect any other connectors? I was just watching another video and remembered your question. According to the other video there are two oil control valves and the connectors are very close to each and its quite common to get them reversed when hooking things back up. If interested it the video "Should you buy a Toyota Tundra 2007-2021" by The Car Care Nut. He mentions it at the 13:30 mark. Hope this helps.
Those are ignition coil codes. The coils on those cylinders could be bad, or maybe try to reseat them to make sure they are seated to the spark plug right.
Why is it impossible to find a guy like this to do this work?
Thank you for the compliment.
Whats that water sound in back round I gotta go pee now
lol
@HomeOwnerRepair dealer wants $470 for my 2012 LTD 5.7 Tundra plugs..screw it Thanks for the Video
Replacing the spark plugs isn't that bad on this truck. Thanks for watching.
They want $700 were I’m at for my 2017 SR5 TRD
Not uncommon to get 150k+ miles on plugs, especially if your engine is in good condition. Nice video, the dealer would charge $500 to do this.
Nothing is cheap at the dealership.
I may have missed it, I see you were draining coolant, is that related to this job?
No we were probably doing something else to this truck as well.
What is the stuff you put on the threads of the plugs? Also, what brand of plugs are you using? I have a 2013 tundra and I’m about to do my spark plugs
It was antisieze. You may be able to go through the video to see what spark plugs were used. Here is a link to the Anti-Seize on Amazon: amzn.to/4abBpPR
Another thing I like to do is tape the socket to the extension so it comes out without coming apart.
Thanks for the added tip!
this is one of the very few mechanics I would trust to work on my cars
Thanks for watching.
I was suprised how much easier it was than expected. Truck runs like a new truck.
Thank you for checking out our video that shows you how to replace the spark plugs in a Toyota Tundra. Have a great day!
Why dont you post what you use for spray and the cream you put in the ignition coils
I'll add it to the description...Thanks for checking us out.
Just did mine today. Thanks so much for this video. Everything went really smooth. I did everything you said to do including anti size which I think they should have done at the factory as well. And the dielectric grease and the silicone spray. I sprayed all the wiring that I could see under the hood as well.
Glad this auto repair video that shows you how to replace the spark plugs in a Toyota Tundra helped you out.
Though I appreciate the insight and expectation management, I will have to argue with you regarding which side is easier 😄
Hope this auto repair video has helped you out.
Really good, thanks for your time making the video.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude..... you banging the positive terminal with the handle of the ratchet.....it made me feel some kinda way bro
We're adding excitement...lol
Just in my truck doing these and I can tell I'm the first owner to have changed them. I got the truck at 120K and it's pushing 145k now. 🤦♂
Due to some health issues, I had a battle to get all of them changed in one day but soldiered through 7 of the 8 before I lost all my energy (and the light!), but yes, the packaging on this truck is Horrible. Every time you have to replace something, it's a fight! There's ALWAYS something trivial in the way (like why would you put something Directly in the egress path of a spark plug, on every cylinder?!) Then you have to drop the socket in first, blind, then the extension, then separate all of them once you get the plug uncorked. UGH!!!
You can tell that the people intended to buy these trucks were Supposed to just take it to the dealer to get bent over the service desk...
Add: Ah, almost forgot why I was here. Trying to figure out how to get that passenger one out without taking the right half of the truck apart, beneath the wire loom and such. By the by, the wife's scooter is also a Mazda CX9. 😁 She got hers way before I got my truck.
This is measurably more difficult when the truck has a 6" off-road suspension kit, too. Works great when you're under the truck, not so much for on top! First time I've ever had to use a step stool to get onto the back side, as I'm a veritable sasquatch model of human.

If it doesnt bother me asking whats the health issue☹️
New age Toyota. My 4.7l 01 tundra doesn't have this issue
seize on the plugs ??? newer vehicles like 2014 newer ,,, those plug had been already seize applied,,
NO need to coat with extra seize no more....
There was no anti seize on the new plugs. The method shown in this video is fine.
Don’t see a link for the tool?
Here is a link to it on Amazon. Just added to the description as well: Spark Plug Installer Tool: amzn.to/3o5lbWJ
whats the spark plug gap?
It is stated in the video.
Love the vid!
I looked online to see when i should change spark plugs and it said around 30,000-40,000 but your description says 80,000-100,000 so which is accurate?
I would do it between 80,000-100,000 check your owner's manual to see if it recommends a different interval.
You should replace your boots and coils on your tune ups.
These were fine and not acting up.
I took care of two tundra company trucks that eventually went over 400K each. I replaced 2 coils and maybe 6 boots total. I also use a lot of silicone, anti seize, and die electric grease.
How often should plugs be changed on the tundra
Every 100k with iridium plugs. Stick with the denso plugs.
I would do every 50-100K
Not using a torque wrench?
You can use a torque wrench to snug them down if you would like. We never had an issue using the method shown.
@nomenclature9607 I was reading a Toyota tech manual and it said for the plugs to use 15 ft lbs OR hand tight plus a quarter turn.
Why are you draining coolant? Did I miss something? A hose in the way??
We were probably replacing it or doing something else to this truck.
How long does it take to do all 8. Good video
It was pretty easy. Only took us like 45 minutes.
Watched your video and gained some knowledge on changing plugs. Appreciate you posting this.

I have to pee for some reason
It's probably the beer..lol
I know alot of people do anti seize but this is from ngk directly...
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SPARK PLUGS
1. Anti-seize
NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize.
Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental.
lol.. Telling yah we have been doing this forever. Don't glob it on there but a LITTLE bit will help out later when you're in there and doing this again.
I would think the manufacturer would know best but ok. The fact they are installed dry from factory and in there for most people like 5 years minimum before first change
I always use a smear of neversieze on my plugs, and my future self has never been disappointed. A frozen plug is catastrophic
NGK plugs aren't OEM on the 5.7L. Denso are. Yes, Denso claims there's a coating. I still use a small dab, much, much less than was seen in this video.
You must live in the north with all that rust.
Yeah we're in New England
Need to do mine soon, 94,000 miles. What is the dealer charge for this job? Also, doing it your way is there any risk of messing up the firing order?
The dealer will probably soak you for $800.00 If you take your time and follow the video you should be fine.
I’d do them one at a time if you’re really concerned about messing up the firing order.
Terrific job and explanation. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching hope this video helped you to replace the spark plugs on your Toyota Tundra. Thanks for the sub!
Thank you!!!! You're my favorite utube teacher!
It is comments like this that keep us going. Thank you for checking out this video. Hope it helped you out. Have a great day!
Great video geat detail thanks east coast brother!
Thanks for watching!
I Gota pee now😂
Thanks for watching.
How much more can those OEM ignition coils last after swapping out with new spark plugs?
It really depends. There's not really a shelf life on them. If they start to fail at some point then I would replace them.
They are expensive. I’ve only had one coil pack fail out of all of my Toyota/Lexus V8’s. Given how easy they are to replace I think keeping one on hand, and a code reader, makes it easy to deal with a failure rather than throwing the $ at all of them preemptively.
How about links to the sparkplug tool, please.
Also, what was the dispenser you used for the silicone grease?
Did you ever find any links to the spark plug tool and grease dispenser??
I'll have to add this to the description...sorry
Thank you sir well done!
Very welcome
Those Lisle pliers are fantastic!
Yeah they work good.
Wait, so he didn't gap them?
The Denso plugs are gapped at the factory. You can check them, but you DO NOT gap Iridium plugs.
They are pre-gapped in the box. You have to be careful with the iridium spark plug tips.
Dont use never seize on threads ,, their coated to not seize
It isn't going to hurt anything. There was no special coating on the spark plugs we installed.
Too bad it’s not like a snowmobile lol
Yeah I know..lol
Thanks for watching.
Appreciate the help but the running water made me have to go to the bathroom
lol.. Thanks for watching
Wtf is all the water running? We working on our tuck over a creek??
It was pouring rain outside that day.
Excellent video. Thank you! 👍

What socket size is that?
Here is one on Amazon: amzn.to/3puCwZC
why dielectric grease on the boot
It will help to keep moisture out of the boot.
Is that green antifreeze in a Tundra?
Yes
Great video. Btw the Toyota 5.7L is actually a HEMI engine technically which is it has similarities to the dodge 5.7 in design
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe!
Wow, really? Thats awesome.
Yeah, no. If your point is that the tops of the piston have a hemispherical shape, then yes. But this engine is NOT a hemi
Isn't this the chevy 350 toyota bought when chevy filed bankruptcy? Then chevy went to the 5.3l.
I cant F'N see how the hell you are getting off the stupid electrical clips off the coil pack. Im squeezing, using screw drivers, etc. NONE are coming off.
Did you figure them out, the ones on this truck came apart fairly easy.
I. Really need to pee all of a sudden
lol...Thanks for checking out our Toyota Tundra spark plug replacement video.
I don't know why but i felt like i needed to pee the whole video... hmmm
lol Thanks for watching.
Don’t you have any “R’s” in your vocabulary? 😂
lol..Have not idea what ya talkin about.
Like hoe none of these guys explain the firing order. I'm trying to find that out as I can't tell with just looking at it
We were trying to keep it simple for the average person to follow along. Thank you for checking out the video. Have a great weekend.
