8:06 the smooth speakeasy jazz combined with the heavy breathing cracks me up 😆🤣
😂
Was able to do my 17 Tacoma SR today following your video. Took me two hours and $125.10 in parts to include an adjustable spark plug wrench. Thanks for taking the time to post your video.
Outstanding work. It’s always the best feeling to DIY. And thanks!
did my plugs on my 16 tacoma for $82 (plug cost) and about 1.5 hours. saved me over $300 by doing it myself thanks to your video.
Love to hear it! I’ll shoot you my Venmo details and only have to ask for half your savings 🍻 😂 happy maintaining!!
Firestone wanted about $630 to change my 6 spark plugs for my 2017 Tacoma for the 60k miles maintenance. Wild.
Nice video and narration. No repetition or mansplaining. A lot of TH-cam videos could be done in 1/3 of the time actually spent. You gave 10.5 minutes worth of demonstration in a 10.5 minute video. I rarely do this, but I hit like and sibscribe. Thanks!
Thank you! Others will drag out for ad revenue... nah screw that... nobody has time for that! Welcome aboard and glad to have you - Tyler
What is mansplaining??? LOL
@@julianj8609 weak person talk
Changed the plugs on my 18 Tacoma last weekend and this video came in clutch. I watched it about 20 times, so when I got under the hood everything looked familiar and I had all the tools I needed. Only thing different is I removed the upper air intake, it was really easy and opened up more space. Oh yeah, needle noses for the clips also came in clutch. lol. THANK YOU for a perfect tutorial.
I love to hear it! Glad it was helpful! Happy maintaining, Joseph!
Dude keep it up. You'll eventually have thousands of views. Good job.
Excellent tutorials, like they are straight forward and to the point. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks! I should have another edited shortly
When doing driver side, you can reach those lower 12mm bracket bolts from the wheel well
Nice! Anything to make driver side easier is a plus!
You saved me a lot of time and frustration. Thanks. I was able to use that saved frustration for the drivers side spark plug closest to the grill/bumper instead 😅
I'm so thankful for you! Much easier through the wheelwell!😊😊
Awesome
Glad to help
Did these on Sunday. Never would have done all the extra stuff like dielectric grease and the anti seize on the threads. Thanks for a great video..
Love to hear it brother. Glad we could be of help 😌
Best tutorial video for the 3rd gen on TH-cam!
Thanks much!
Nice to see someone doing one of these videos with a clean engine.
Got a vid for that too!
Thank you for creating this video. I changed the spark plugs in my 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport yesterday. I did the harder / driver's side first. I didn't have a problem fitting my hands down into that area of the engine but I did have a hard time trying to get the foam sound block screwed back into place. I used some vice grips to undo the electrical clips that plug into the coil pack. It was easier for me that way. The vice grips would hold down that clip and I could pull on the vice grips at the same time to remove the clip from the coil pack. My hands, arms, are sore today. Maybe that is because I don't have the hand or arm strength that men have and It took me a lot longer to change the spark plugs than what I heard it take most people. It took me 6 hours but, I am happy I was able to get it done all by myself, and with the help of your video. It saved me the money having a dealership doing that job for me. Thanks again!
Great job Stacie! After doing the driver said and dealing with the foam block and tight space you got to reward yourself with that passenger side. Very nice! 🍻 Happy maintaining!
Just know however long it took the dealership won’t put anti seize on the spark plugs and they’ll over torque them so it saves you from having weeks worth of work fixing stuck spark plugs. That’s why I’ll also never let anyone torque tires on my truck I’d rather not break studs
The explosion at the end killed me 😂
Im fairly new at any maintenance DIYs - what tools do you recommend to buy? Good tool kits?
@@FCBarcelona457910 I’ll have us a video soon enough on that, but I always recommend a good brand name set. Dewalt is doing a really good job with mechanic tools that are both affordable and quality.
Your videos are so good! While the driver side does not look like a lot of fun, it doesn't appear as bad as my '98 Pathfinder that required i lay on the engine and guide myself to the 6th cylinder with a vanity mirror.
Thank you, and keep up the great work!
That makes two of us happy we aren’t dealing with that… it’s not terrible on the driver side but it’s far from enjoyable. Thank you! Happy maintaining .
I just replaced all my coils to ripp coils and I wish I changed out the plugs while I was doing that. I definitely felt your pain when you were doing the driver side. But now after doing it I definitely know an easier way to get it done thanks for the recommendation on the plugs I will look into getting them.
My pleasure! Good luck
Thanks for the video. Straight and to the point. Saved me a lot of guesswork. Ended up not needing the swivel on my socket extension . Was worried it was going to take me all day but it didn’t. Thanks again!!
And HUGE money saved. Our pleasure!
Thank you so much. I did my 2017 aparkalators and took everything apart before this video. Now that I seen this video you have made the job much easier on me with my 2021 trd sport access cab. I watch your brake video to a few months back and that was a big help. Thanks for the video.
Thank you David! Glad it worked out for you! Love to hear it 😌 🍻
Good job thanks for the tutorial.
I just changed out an electronic thermostat on a 2018 Genesis G80 3.8L. They designed it facing the rear towards the firewall… talk about removing half the engine bay and contorting your arms just to get 1-2 clicks on a ratchet… and you’re praying you don’t drop the bolt going out or in. Really you need a lift to access the thermostat, going from up top was my only option.
Thanks! And that sounds... like hell. Yikes! When i pop the hood on my 1995 Wrangler I feel like there is enough room under there to move in and start a family.
Great video brother. Awesome camera angles and clear instructions. About to do mine this evening. Subbed!
Thank you brother! happy maintaining!
How did it go?
@@teamoildrop pretty good! Thanks for asking. The clips on my truck were a pain to pull apart but other than that, the install was smooth! Thanks again for the detailed video!
Just replace my spark plugs thanks for the video, rear brakes on the tacoma waiting for your video
rear brakes done! you’re welcome and happy maintaining!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! The dealer wanted $570 to replace the plugs😂😂😂. It was helpful watching the process before trying it myself.
A couple things I came across that you may want to look into… I guess Denso says anti seize shouldn’t be used on their plugs because they are already coated with a metal that prevents seizing, and all you need to do is install to correct torque spec… and the anti seize can also reduce the electrical conductivity. Another thing was a discussion on tacomaworld about the Denso 4705 not being the right plug for the 2GR-FKS… the OEM plugs the manual says to use are Denso 3491 (gap 0.032”), the 4705 gap is 0.040”. I was hoping the 4705 would work because they were half the price but I decided not to chance it after reading that discussion on tacomaworld.
A very good few points about anti seize. It also changes the torque due to a lowered friction on the threads. Different plugs can lead to misfires and codes

Ain’t that the truth
Awesome video! Really made me feel confident in doing this on my own.
You can do it!
Greg the Editor
Bro the music helped a ton Ty 😂
😂 driver side we all just gotta woosah through it
Awesome video, saved me a ton of time! Did mine this morning, found the denso 4705s at auto zone, advanced did not have them.
You just saved approx $700 💥 🍻
I just found your vid's yesterday and have watched a number of them, even though I am not going to do the maintenance for another few weeks. I find them interesting to watch (and obviously helpful). I know you give a parts list at the beginning of the video, but any chance you can start putting some amazon links in your descriptions? I know it more of a pain in the rear, but just a suggestion. Again, love the vids and I hope to see more. Your channel is going to grow I have a feeling.
Thanks! I believe a number of the vids have the parts listed in a pinned comment but you right , that would be even better.
@@teamoildrop again, you do a great job. U will be hanging with me on the old iPad when I tackle a few of these projects. Thanx for taking the time to make and share them
Extendible magnetic tip grabber thing is the way! You can scoop up the old plugs, gently set the new ones in place, and save the bolts from being lost using it in conjunction with your hands.
Those sure are handy
Greg the Editor
Thanks for the video, very helpful and straight to the point. Try doing this being 5'5" with only about a 6" stool to stand on : ) The tape trick worked well. Now on to the next project.
We're glad you found this helpful.
Thank you
Greg the Editor
Thanks for uploading this! Made the job really easy with my mouse hands.
I’m jealous of those mouse hands on that driver side 😆 good stuff! 🍻
My go to channel for my tundra instructional video. Subscribed. Do you do tundra videos? That would be great if you did. Thanks for excellent videos with no bs.
We will be doing 2nd gens, mostly the 5.7, in the nearish future!
I have the 2nd gen tundra 5.7. I will be looking forward to it. My son has the 2019 v6 Tacoma. So we both love your channel. Keep up the good work
Excellent tutorial. My hands are too big and patience has grown thin with age. I'm just gonna have the dealership take care of it.
Thanks! Honestly you’re not making the wrong choice. What you don’t see in the video is the number of times I angrily cuss at the situation 😂 Id say be ready to pay between 200 and 400 for parts and labor.
@@teamoildrop They quoted me $600 to change my spark plugs today!! Ridiculous!
@@BillWidmerBlog yeah.. thats going to be a hard no from me. The great part of DIY is the satisfaction at the end knowing you did it right and learned a new skill (if its your first time)
OH,,, my lord,,, I told my friend that I will help him to replace his 2016 tacobell V6 plugs,,, surely hurt my hands,,,
very good sample video here,, I learn alots,,,
thx
It’s not the most fun DIY on that drivers side 😆
One thing I would have and always have done is break the plugs loose first and then use compressed air to blow out any debris before removing the old plug. If there is dirt or debris down there it will fall into the cylinder when you remove the old plug.
Brian'
That is a wonderful suggestion. Thanks for that, Im sure many simply don't think of it at all.
Greg the Editor
Lol! When I bought my 2022 Taco SR5 The first thing I told the sales guy at Toyota dealer was to pop the hood to see if "TOYOTA" has improved on the changing the spark plugs on the driver side. To my amazement, Nothing has change! it was just as pain in the tail as my 2002 4Runner! Lol!
Either the Toyota engineering department needs a stronger coffee, or start drinking RED BULL..
“Electrical…. Electrical never changes”
I can't believe that the Stealer* want $428 to replace my spark plugs. Thanks for the video, I'm gonna replace them myself
Right? Just go into it with patience and small hands. It’s not “hard” just tedious. Good luck!
They quoted me $600!!
Great video!
Dealership quoted me $450 on my 17 TRDOR.
Thanks brother! Now you can tell the wife you’ve got ~400 of money saved for your other hobbies ha!
LOVE your videos. You have saved me mucho $$ by me watching your videos and then doing the maintenance myself!. Thank you. After watching this Spark Plug video, I was getting ready to do the job myself. I then watched the "Car Care Nut" video on spark plugs and he said that the Iridium plugs will last 110k and if you replace them sooner, youre just wasting your money. What are you thoughts?
Thank you brother! I like CCN but I’ll continue to change at 60k for peace of mind. That’s a LONG time to go in between changes.
Awesome video - thanks. Few q's:
1. should I also put the dielectric grease on the tip of the plug that connects to the ignition coil?
2. ok to use copper anti-seize or should I use the Al one?
3. you show dielectric grease on the outside of the plastic connectors, but should I also put it on the metal wire connectors as well?
Thanks!
1. No reason to honestly
2. Since you are torquing to such a light weight and copper is good to 1800 degrees I’d say you’re safe.
3. I would not. You are simply using it as sealant to keep the elements out.
@@teamoildrop thank you!
Nice video! Could you use an 18" extension instead of the 2-extension approach you show? Or is it critical to have flexibility partway down the extension to get to hard to reach areas?
Thanks! Flexibility is very useful I won’t lie. That and it’s important to have a flex socket adapter imo
Thank you !
Our pleasure! 🍻
Thanks for the video. If you add anti-seize to the plug threads, won't that modify the torque reading and possibly lead to over torqued plugs?
This is/was a hotly debated topic! I and generally the majority of us DIYers elect to add a little bit. A (possibly) slightly off torque reading is way less of a concern than a plug stuck in an engine. This is my 0.02 of course.
thank you, driver side looks like a breeze compared to '08 highlander.
My pleasure / I’d say this is a 3.5/5 for difficulty on that drivers side…. If it’s tighter then that I’d hire a strong small child to do the work 😂
Getting to 60k on my 18 Tacoma. I think its time for this service.
It’s not too bad and a great sense of accomplishment when complete!
Before removing the plug hit it was some compresed air to blow any debris out or at least most of it. I like to use some rubber tubing to slip over end of spark plug to get them started. Easier to feel what's going on.
Wonderful tips
Thanks
Greg the Editor
Great video man. Curious as to why you used Denso TT-4705 instead of Denso (3491) fk20hbr8?
My 2021 called for the Denso 4705
Different years actually had different plugs. I believe the truck in the video is a 2019
The Editor
This is Awesome Video!
Happy it can help!
Amazing video ! Thanks 🙏🏼
Our pleasure! 🍻
Do you have to gap the spark plugs? Nice video.
You do not! I should’ve mentioned that, these come pre-gapped ready to rock - Tyler
The denso spark plugs usually come pre gapped. But in case you get another brand the electrode gap for new spark plug is 0.7 to 0.8 mm (0.0276 to 0.0315 in.)
Was quoted $700 for this at a shop, watched the video and this looks simple enough. Shop said intake manifold has to be removed.
THE SHOP LIED! Any savings just send my way… 🍻 Get it brother! Happy you’re saving a ton.
Hey man, just finished and I’m getting a check engine light. Everything went smooth, any thoughts?
What plugs did you use? Have you verified that all connections are secure? any hoses disconnected?
Greg the Editor
@@teamoildrop I forgot to plug back together one of the connections. It was code P0368, went off after a few startups. Appreciate it!
Great to hear you got it sorted out.
Appreciate the follow up!
Greg the Editor
Are there aftermarket ignition coils that are worth buying in lieu of the stock coils?
Hard pass on aftermarket coils. Too many horror stories with no true gain in any way.
Question. I truthfully was unaware of many of the maintenance items necessary you cover on your channel. I just did my spark plugs today and they have never been done before. My current mileage is 95k. I am now following your whole maintenance map, but many of the items are off schedule because the service was overdue and it did not make sense to wait till the next "scheduled" time on the map. What would make the most sense to try and get back on the map schedule with some of these things? Just do the plugs again at 120k? Stretch the life of the plugs and wait till 180k? Seems silly but I'd like to get all my services aligned with the map schedule and don't want to cause damage.
Great question. First of all rest easy knowing your truck will be fine. Here’s what I personally would do, everything that needs done get it done, make a mental note of the pricier more tedious things like spark plugs and change at 150 next time. I know you’re not still on schedule but 🤷♂️ the other option is be extra and change sparks at 120k. Won’t hurt anything and your truck will thank you.
All this is assuming you at least were changing oil and engine air filters before 😂
@@teamoildrop I for sure knew about the "basics" oil, air filters, tire rotations, etc but drive shafts, differentials and some others I never really thought about. Your channel helped me get the most out of my investment, plus doing this stuff is just fun!
@@SixEightOutdoors it is isn’t it?? It’s just a good time to turn on some music in garage or driveway, have a cold drink, and wrench away 🔧
How often does Toyota recommend changing the plugs on a V 6? Thank you.
Toyota recommends 60k! Some of us meticulous guys do less than that.
@@teamoildrop Thank you
Is it required to test spark plugs and to adjust the gap?
Do not gap! Just send em and have a good day.
If you disconnect the battery don’t you have to put a memory saver in it? And also does it have to be the negative terminal?
No memory saver needed. It's really best to remove the negative cable first. Reason being, if you accidentally touch a wrench to the engine to fender, no sparks like will happen if you do the positive first
Greg the editor
Have you ever change the pvc valve on your third gen tacoma
not yet but soon…
At what mileage is your first spark plug replacement?
Every 60k! Check this out I made us:
www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-maintenance-maps-swing-by-new-stuff.789809/
I'd like to add a small request: What are the recommended torque values for the 12MM hex bolts holding the brackets and the 10MM hex bolts holding the coils in place? TIA
I looked for that torque spec in the Haynes manual and it’s not listed there, for what it’s worth.
The torque spec for the coil pack retaining bolt is 7 lbs ft
The brackets with the 12mm bolt heads, 21 lbs ft
@@teamoildrop thanks!
OK, I finally got my stuff situated and wanna make a recommendation for everyone else up next.... do yourself a favor and buy the LOCKING extensions from harbor freight for 20 bucks and you wont leave a socket behind in the hole like me. Also, use a MAGNETIC spark plug socket, not the garbage rubber one that refuses to release.....
IF you do, the 11" pliers were basically useless as I couldn't open the chuck to get a grip on anything, nor did the automotive claw tool, buy a pair of locking 12" hemostats from harbor freight or similar, was able to reach in and finally get the tape mess out of the way and an extension seated. 8 hrs later my truck is running on new spark plugs and happy again......I'll admit I called a mechanic but never got a callback while I fiddled with it and finally got it sorted.
All in all, PITA on the drivers side, passenger was a breeze.....glad I dont have to do again for awhile and now I own a bunch of extra tools......still cheaper than the dealership!
🍻 excellent words of experience!
What miles are you guys changing your plugs?
60k
Are the DENSO TT4705 compatible to the OEM FK20HR8 plugs? Reference: 2019 V6 Tacoma TRD 4x4
Exactly what I’ve always used:
Denso Spark Plug Iridium TT - 4705 a.co/d/cT9F38g
Reviews agree as well.
@@teamoildrop Many Thanks for the info!
Did you have to gap the spark plugs ?
They come pre-gapped! No touchy needed 🍻
I lost one of the 12mm bolts for the bracket on the driver side while doing this. Any clue what the part number is for replacement? 😅
Ooof! I do not BUT what I would do is pull another and go to your local hardware store and match it up.
or just bubba it with a nice shiny 4" deck screw...
thats a joke
One of my ignition coils and plugs has a ton of grime and dried oil all over it. Big issue?
I’d clean that sucker carefully. Start with a dry bristle on the inside like a small toothbrush etc. Then, ask yourself where the grime came from? Just spilled oil?
@@teamoildropthank you for being so proactive on your channel! I have a crew of Tacoma owners at work and we’re all over your channel right now!
The only culprit ive come across on forums is a leaking valve cover… maybe a video in the future on replacing? Mine is on passenger side middle.
@@19Stifler91 thanks brother. Love to hear it’s helping your whole group. If ya use discord I heavily reccomend joining ours. We’ve got people smarter than me in there.
I can’t say valve cover is too likely… but possible!
Welp the tape ripped right off on the first reinstall and now I have a spark plug socket in my engine......got some of the 11" pliers but doesn't appear to fit down to grab it...
debating options since there is now tape in between the socket and hole, thinking about putting the extionsion back in and trying to pull the new plug backout and try again with a magnetic version....
Use a claw like/automotive pickup tool
Also called an automotive pickup tool
www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-Automotive-Pickup-Tool/1000594933
Can be had at Lowe’s etc
@@teamoildrop grabbed and no luck sadly, doesn't quite "grip" enough to pull anything out even the tape....I've got a pair of fishing hemostats I'm gonna try next, might need slightly longer though. If I could just get the dang tape outta the way I could fit the extension back in and pull the whole mess out.
@@teamoildrop Hopefully all my comments added some 'interactions' on your vid, really appreciate it! Combo of hemostats removing bits of tape at a time + getting the extension reseated worked, was able to back out the new sparkplug and reinstall with a different socket.
@@derekp6636 success! Sounds like you had an even worse time than I did when I made a similar mistake! Glad it’s out! Good on you! Cheers 🍻
I noticed my truck doesn't have any indicators of what cylinder is what. Does anyone know of way to tell or a diagram?
www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-v6-cylinder-numbering.599024/
Okay big boy pants on. Dealership quoted me 600 and pep boys quoted my 999. I think I can manage this 😊
Time to save some serious money. It’s not that bad, just make the work environment conducive with a step stool and a beverage, you got this! 🍻
How many miles should these last?
Rule of thumb is change at 60k miles 🍻
I'm just trying to find a definitive answer on the 4705 versus 3491 spark plug dilemma. Both seem to work fine, but they are gapped slightly different and the 3491 is a little more expensive. I suppose it really doesn't matter but it's a bit maddening and I wish someone had some reliable info/data on the pro and cons of either.
The 3491 is the OEM replacement plug
Greg the Editor
👍
🍻
How many miles was your truck when doing this
I did mine at 74k if I recall correctly
@@teamoildrop thank you for taking your time and doing the videos, so far I’ve done the differential and power steering. But ima leave the big stuff to the pros lol .
@@DavidRodriguez-qt5ux no problem with that! Just brace yourself for what they may charging and always get a few quotes 🍻
That middle spark plug on the driver side is so tight I ended up tearing the rubber on the spark plug. It’s just so tight there’s almost no room to get it out
I hear you brother. You pretty much need ratatouille grippers to do the driver side.
After torqued to 13ftlb, feel it really not enough (although Toyota called for 13) so I gone to 18 ftlb standard torque, anyone did the same?
I usually stay with the manufacturers recommended torque specs.
Greg the Editor
It’s pretty obvious considering the thumbnail image contains 6 plugs, but stating that this is for v6 engines in the title might help others
It’s also in the descriptions. Since the heavy majority of 3rd gen Tacomas on the road are v6 I just leave it out of the title for simplicity sake.
That looks so stressful that'd I'd probably rather pay.
It can be a task. There’s a lot of money to be saved by DIYing but to each their own!
could really use a clutch bleed video. Got told at a oil change that it needs done. @@teamoildrop
7:08. So just like the water pump on the Corolla you need little Japanese girl hands to actually get in there
😂 pretty much
@@teamoildrop truly thank you for this Channel and showing us Tacoma guys how to do everything the dweebs on Tacoma world have us thinking the transmission fluid change is rocket surgery
@@yzrippin couple that with the NEVER CHANGE UR TRANS FLUID crowd. “200k and it still shifts… PROOF!” 😂 My pleasure!
You don't add anti seize to these type spark plugs, only dielectric grease to the insulators. They are already made to be torqued as they come out of the box.
I know some may opt not to but I would much rather torque carefully to spec with a dab of anti-size vs dealing with a stuck plug in our aluminum engines down the road. The former is common practice and the latter is... a horrible experience. Don't ask me how I know lol
@@teamoildrop I normally use anti-seize as well, just those plugs come pretreated and the manufacturer recommends not applying for the correct torque. I do not imagine it matters much as there is some error in all torque wrenches. You truck your choice. I like your channel and I subscribed. Nice and to the point. Thanks for the videos and good luck with your channel, I think it will do well as word gets out.
@@donaldstogner9518 Thanks Donald! Much appreciated. I try to monlogue very little and just get to the point (happy you noticed), terrible for ad revenue but thats not what the channel is about. A few more videos and the routine maintenance video section will be done... then I earn my Bilstien 5100s for this, my 5th tacoma... ha!
NEVER use anti-seize on plugs unless it come with it originally
A HOTLY debated topic researched and conversed over extensively… in the end, the majority of us owners choose to use an appropriate amount of anti seize
Really you can go 150K and be fine.
Some replace early, some replace later.
