This is a good video. I think I made this comment before but when me and my friend did my spark plugs the job should have been way easier then it ended up being. Since she's an 05 and nearly at 200,000 miles everything plastic decided to desintigrate. So I ended up needed to get new ignition coil connectors, a new valve cover (because the plastic that holds the bolts that hold the ignition coils broke.) So yeah we had to tape everything up until I could get the parts.

Good tutorial. I would recommend to add some di-electric grease around the rubber boot which connects the ignition coils to the spark plugs, so that debris/water cannot get in, it also prevents any arcing from occuring with the engine's head which can lead to misfires. Also use a regular ratchet to slightly tighten the plugs, then torque to spec using a torque wrench after. Breaker bars should only be used for undoing bolts.

Good tips!

Thanks for another video! Looking forward to more. I replaced my plugs about 30 000 miles ago and the car is idling a tad rough now. I whip my 2.5 but take care of its needs. I was checking the compression of my cylinders the other day and was surprised to see my plugs so burnt and wasted! I expected at least double the life.. i didnt check the gap before though, I had someone do change them. Will do it myself now.

Ngk laser iridium spark plug crew!! *Fist bump* AUD was was $29 AUD each but i did pay for a retail store! - amatuer tip for first timers, make sure all your coil caps are firmly down. I had one just off and and ended up crapping myself and shamefully took it to the mechanic but thankfully they were honest and laughed at my stupidity, which if you have a clunking sound on start up, chances are you didnt secure a coil cap.

They smell like nature when you take them off... organic nature from the wrong place 😂

I also noticed yours doesn't have the vvt solinoid at the top like mine does

Sooo… Why are you not using a dab of antiseize on the threads and dielectric grease on the coils?

Per the manufacturer NGK iridium plugs do not recommend anti-seize

All NGK are pre gapped

Yes they are all pre gapped but might not be the gap you need. 2007 Mazda 2.0 needs .052” gap but the plugs I got from NGK have a .044” pre gap.
