Thanks for the video. In case anyone is wondering, the torque spec for the coil pack hold down bolt is 7 foot pounds of torque and the spark plug is 15 foot pounds of torque.
I've got a 14 Corolla - same engine and looking to do this right around 100,000 miles. Thanks for this video - very helpful. Mine has 83,000 and runs like a champ.
Very well done with details along the way. The video by the Car Care Nut suggests never using anti-seize compound. He feels Toyota doesn't put any on from the factory, and the wrong kind of compound can actually contribute to it seizing. He says if it is torqued properly there will be no problems with the plug in the future. Also I'd go to the store and get the proper spark plug socket with the rubber boot inside it to hold the spark plug by the ceramic insulator. I don't know if there is room in the tube for it landing wrong, but I wouldn't want the soft metal in the conductor or anything getting banged up by dropping it in there.
If you do not have the right socket or a magnet just use the coil to remove the plug from the hole once you have it lose. Use the coil to put the new plug back in.
I'm using Bosch Double Iridium Plugs #9621...they recommend 17 ft/lbs for torquing. If you got a good sense of feel and you go slow, just ratchet them in until you feel the Crush Washers sink down...and no further. I've done it both with, and without a torque wrench with no issues.
also if you dont have right socket , a little trick i have learned over the years is if you have a small piece of a garden hose you can use it to remove the plug and also start the plug when putting it back in
Eric Ozeta they are the same ones that came with the car why wouldn’t they work? I got my plugs from the dealer and they gave me the new 16 model. They’re less expensive than the originals just waiting to see if they can last as long
Nice video! Would you recommend changing the plugs when the engine is hot (probably not), just slightly warm to the touch on the valve cover (maybe one hour after turning engine off in the summer) OR when the engine is cold (after say 24 hours)??? Thx!
I do it when the engine is cold or maybe slightly warm. Check with a mechanic for what's best but I don't think it matters. I wouldn't do it when the engine is hot just so I don't burn myself but there may be other reasons not to do it hot
hititandquitit69 is that specifically for Toyota’s? I’d love to read up on the source you might have got that from. There are different types of spark plugs available for Toyota’s as well. I would agree with you in the fact that they might last 200-300k but it wouldn’t be beneficial for your cars health
They're cheap, replace them every 80-100k miles. You can wait longer but the small damage it causes while doing that will compound. Then again some toyota's just, umm, go forever!
It may have been a one time thing. If you can reset the light, do that and see if it comes back on. If it does then you may want to take it to a mechanic.
It could be a coil pack issues. I have the same thing on my 2009 with 190k miles on it. Ends up being a coil pack throwing a code. You can test this by swapping #2 coil pack to the other cylinder and see if a new code to that cylinder you swap to comes up. Coil packs are not cylinder specific, so it doesn't matter which one it goes to.
Help I have corolla 2010 . 1.8 liter spark plugs says sc20hr11, but they're discontinued , does anyone know what spark plug model they replaced it with ? Someone mentioned the denso 4711 was good can you guys help me thank you !

Nobody was wondering...Just tighten it down....wth
Thank you man. We appreciate it. :))

Mine has about 150000 in it now and still runs like new.

9/16 plug socket works fine . No need for a magnet . Alot of people on here don’t have enough brain cells to figure this out .
@@joshsmith2982 And not everyone has a 9/16 plug socket.
Thank you for that!
Just did my sparks I own a 2014 corolla, video helped 👍! I torqued to 12.5 foot pounds just to be on the safe side.. Thanks!
I torqued mine to pretty snug specs and it's running fine
Should be torqued to 20 with no anti seize
12 ft lbs toque is too loose... u may want to go 18-20, make sure washer tight good too...
Spark plug gap is 43 spark plug torque is 18 ft lbs right from the book
I'm using Bosch Double Iridium Plugs #9621...they recommend 17 ft/lbs for torquing. If you got a good sense of feel and you go slow, just ratchet them in until you feel the Crush Washers sink down...and no further. I've done it both with, and without a torque wrench with no issues.
Your moms HITACHI
Your prediction came right!

I've heard this can work for rounded heads/nuts too....
The nozzle keeps getting in the way.

Toyota recommends the sc16hr11 for dual vvti engines the sc20hr11 is phased out.
hey bud thanks for insight, I recently purchased Denso sc20hr11, but read your comment. Will it still work?

George Lin, Hi I need to replace the spark plugs of my Toyota Corolla 2015 do you recommend SC16HR11?

Hi! What size is your 2 mini extension?
hi for the socket 14mm deep socket? fit or 9/16?
how much newton tork??
11nm if lubricated, 18nm if not lubricated.
I have a po304 code so I know its cylinder 4. But how do I know which cylinder is #4.?
#4 is usually the one furthest away from the serpentine belt. If you are replacing plugs it's best to do them all
It could also be the coil pack. To test it, swap the coil pack around and see which ever cylinder you put #4 to, will a new code refer to it.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE CHANGE SPARK PLUG
Every 120,000 miles but I wouldn’t wait that long
Moses Solis why do they say that some of these last 200,000 or 300,000 miles?
hititandquitit69 is that specifically for Toyota’s? I’d love to read up on the source you might have got that from. There are different types of spark plugs available for Toyota’s as well.

Did you get any missfire codes, changed my gf's 2017 corolla spark plug and it threw me a missfire on cylinder 3 it was idling higher than usual
No misfire codes
Misfire codes can also be the coil pack failure.
My Corolla 2009 is showing engine light, with cylinder 2 misfire... what to do with this ??
Is it something serious ??
It may have been a one time thing. If you can reset the light, do that and see if it comes back on. If it does then you may want to take it to a mechanic.
SevenFortyOne thanks sir... but how to reset this ??
SevenFortyOne my car is already 2.25K kms driven, went to mechanic and suggested to change all d four spark plugs. What’s ur opinion sir ??

He does have usual cámara ir the usual spark plugs socket
how many mile i change spark plug corolla s 2013
Chadi Chahine book should say 100,000 miles
It wont' hurt to change it on your major tune up. Spark plugs are cheap to replace and is easy to replace.
You need a light, can see anything

Gap size ?
Check you owners manual. I talk about setting my gap in the video at about 6:20

Check Amazon or one of the chain parts store websites for the plugs that fit. Don't use advanced auto's website though.. many times it has wrong info.
sc216hr11. theyre virtually identical
There not discontinued I bought some at Orileys 2day.
I used denso TT Iridum and the LL Iridum is what matches the dealership.
