Subaru Forester XT 2.0 Spark Plug Replacement (2014 - 2018)

Subaru recommends replacing the spark plugs every 60,000 miles on the 2.0 turbo engines for model years 2014 - 2018. This video will show you how to remove and replace the spark plugs on your fourth generation Subaru Forester XT.
The process is a little bit more involved then on regular inline 4 cylinder engines and requires removing the airbox and battery to get access to the spark plugs.
Part numbers for the spark plugs
Non-turbo models SILZKAR7B11 (NGK)
Turbo models ILKAR8H6 (NGK)

The camera angles were great and I really liked the listing of the tools needed. Only improvement would be adding time stamps. Great job and thank you very much!

[@Tpot1125]

Thanks a lot for your great video.because I have a 2015 Subaru Forester XT it's time to replace the spark plug 68000 miles.

Some people stuff a towel or big rag into the void just below the spark plug holes, so you *can't* drop stuff down there. Also, Amazon sells a nice long-shaft 14mm wobble with a magnet and rubber gasket built-in, so the plug itself gets retained firmly on extraction.

What a pain in the ass compared to my toyota corolla lol. Going to tackle this when i get home today. Thanks for the video!

[@bradleyramon5497]

What a shit show that was. Took me awhile lol

[@apesstrong2gether503]

Awesome video thanks 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@RESPAWN1983]

Other than the whacky music greating F-ing video. Other thing I reccomend to people are low profile ratchets they are a life saver for this job.

[@lindsyrivera9507]

I have a subaru forester 2015, do you know which side would be for the sparkplug or maybe coilpack that reads P0303? Passenger side or driver?

[@happywrenching]

Cylinder 3, that would be passenger side. Passenger side has cylinder 1 (front of engine) and cylinder 3 (rear of engine).

Just got that code today - 2015 xt with 56k on the clock

[@barbacor]

How much do you need to tighten them

[@MistaMock]

Did you space your plugs? Awesome video btw!👍

[@DaDaDo661]

You can't space the Iridium ones. They are pre gapped

[@andreyshapat]

Поменять свечи это полмашину разбирать

[@jeromegaces6184]

Good thing sparkplugs only needs to be replaced every 3 years 😂

[@VideoNOLA]

For me, with only 55k on the clock after 10 years, more like 15 years, lol!

[@samkitty5894]

PITA. This is the reason I will never consider Subaru.
