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.

    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!

      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

    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.

    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.

    • @teamoildrop
      @teamoildrop  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

    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?

      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.

      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.

    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.

    • @teamoildrop
      @teamoildrop  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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!
