Where did you get the torque specs? 15 Ft lbs sounds pretty high for some spark plugs

Should the coikcs be changed?

Gracias..!

I read on a Lexus shop manual somewhere not to use anti seize. The plugs have a coating on them. Also the old 120k plus seem to come out easy without any factory anti seize. What do you think

I’ve used anti seize for 25 years, and also in every Prius/CT I’ve ever done, never had an issue. As far as factory recommendation, I’ve never seen it mentioned pro or con.

@@AutoScholarwithMrB this direct off NGK website. I assume it’s the same for all high quality plugs. Not saying your wrong. Just trying to do the right thing 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.

What size socket extension did you use from the 2nd plug onward? I only have a 6inch extension and want to confirm if that will work. Update: a 6 inch extension was the right size

- 10mm to remove coil pack - 9/16 or 14mm to remove/tighten spark plugs

I got stuck at the spark plugs dont become loose and cant get them out what am i doing wrong???

What if my 14 mm deep socket is now stuck. I didn't realize the socket is wider at the end

Got long needle nose pliers and twisted it left and right as well as pulling up. Purchased 14mm deep socket at harbor freight and did it easily.

does this take a 3/8 or 1/2 in driver/torque wrench?

Do you know why gas mileage would go down on one of these? I’m getting about 330 miles on a full tank. But a while ago it was over 400. Thanks.

Could be your air filter might be dirty. Clean it if you can or replace with genuine. Check your tyre pressure. I own a CT and I run 42psi front and 40 rear. Rides a little harsher but definitely notice better rolling resistance.

I’m having the same issue, I did the math after completely filling the tank when it was on empty. And I found out I was getting about 350 miles on a full tank. After you replaced your spark plugs did your gas mileage increase?

I thought cylinder number one is the first one on your right? The closest one to the driver? I believe in the video you installed the left one first and you mentioned that it was cylinder number one. Please clarify? Thank you.

Cylinder 1 is the first cylinder on the passenger side, furthest away from the transmission. Hope this helps!

My 14 is to big for the socket

is it safe to unplug each ignition coil one by one while the engine is running to see which one is bad?

@AutoScholarwithMrB

I would not try that. You can swap the coils and see with a scan tool of the misfire moves by either a code setting or the misfire counter showing a different cylinder. Hope this helps!

Links are in the video description for two types of spark plugs. Thanks for watching!

My MPG is 35, but my mileage is only 14000 (ct200h 2014). Oils are changed regularly. Do you know what might be the cause of my high MPG? Thanks. Since you said that spark plugs only need to be replaced every 120000 miles, I guess the cause of my high MPG lies elsewhere.
