Rune04 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Just finished changing the plugs on my car. Went with the Bosch Iridium plugs. I would have never attempted this without the tutorials you guys put on here. It was relatively painless. Thanks a million. Saved myself big $$$$$$. :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboRam12 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The owners manual specifically states to use the twin electrode platinum ones though (unless it changed between 2000 and 2001), you sure that was wise? I tried changing mine last weekend and failed when I realized someone had replaced my hex keys, making it very difficult removing the valve cover screws. One of them was particularly tough, so I had to stop before I stripped it. I need to find my hex keys so I can use the correct size and get mine changed.

RoboRam12 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I wasn't able to do mine, but I saw that you should torque them to13 ft-lbf somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
