Best most concise for changing plugs in 2018 Equinox or Terrain. My used 2018 Terrain never had the plugs replaced so I gave it a try. Didn’t realize the plastic tabs are brittle and the connecter seems frozen in place after years of heat sink.
My 2018 equinox auto start stop started to struggle turning over until recently it completely turned off when I was tryna take off at a green light… had to place it in park and turn it on again, do you think changing the plugs would help? I do a lot of my own work on my cars now because I’m not tryna waste time getting quoted hundreds of unnecessary dollars. (Also never switched them out since I’ve had the car😅this is the nicest thing I own so I’m tryna keep it going long as possible with my own maintenance)
I honestly see no need to replace the rubber boots unless they're cracked or falling apart. As for replacing the coils I'd only do that if one (or more) were causing a misfire.

I just watched another video on a 2018 Chevy equinox where the ignition coil bolt was a 9mm and the spark plugs were 9/16... But you said 10mm and 14mm... Am I missing something? ua-cam.com/video/PgsCwjH01wc/v-deo.htmlsi=ol5gMhEu-C-cMvRv
I reviewed the link you provided. I’d recommend you follow my instructions, they are accurate and won’t increase the likelihood of rounded bolt heads…9/16 SAE is 14.3 Metric, which is larger than needed. I’d like to think my video is of higher quality and accuracy…
@@DavidStumph oh ok, You were giving metric measurements! okay I understand now! thank you! My neighbor ask me to change her spark plugs. I was looking up videos and I told her it didn't look that hard. I'm just trying to help her out you know? But I'm also not a mechanic...

Excellent video. Thanks
How often should the spark plugs be changed?
On the 2018 Equinox the owners manual shows 60,000 miles. I have 56,000 miles on our 2018 and I'll be changing the plugs this fall.
Mf trying to charge 200 to 300 for somthing so simple crazy
Great video. Thanks so much.
На каком пробеге была замена свечей?
What if the first screw is too tight?
Hey do you have a vid on the intake manifold
Can you make a video, how to remplace the alternator on this 2018 chevy equinox
how many miles do you recommend changing?
Owner’s manual says 60K miles.
I think I’m 60k miles overdue..
Instead of replacing that rubber piece,why not just replace the coils?
I honestly see no need to replace the rubber boots unless they're cracked or falling apart. As for replacing the coils I'd only do that if one (or more) were causing a misfire.
Great video. Very clear and precise. Curious. Doing this yourself saves you approximately how much money than doing this at a dealership?
Likely a few hundred dollars. depends on the shops labor rate, surcharges, and margin on sold parts.
wow. seems like this is the way to go even if you had to buy the tools for the installation. Thanks for the fast reply.@@DavidStumph
What's the grace I need to put on the spark plug
dielectric grease
Hi David, do you know if this requires resetting the timing? Or does the computer system automatically do that for you?
Thanks!
No need, automatically handled.
@@DavidStumph thank you! Going to be trying this out this weekend! Appreciate the video and the reply!
I have a 2018 Chevy Equinox LT diesel, would this be the same way if I were to do it myself?
Did you get them replaced? Haha... Diesels don't use spark plugs, they rely on compression to ignite the fuel.
I didn't know they made this in a diesel.... I feel like he was trolling...
The 4 10mm bolts require 89 in-lbs (or about 7.5 ft-lbs) of torque.

Would this be the same process for a 2019 LT?
Yes
Thanks
Can you do a video for replacing the alternator? An more
If my vehicle needs one, I will consider adding this to the list. Thank you for the suggestion.
what's the spark plug gap??
.028" (0.7mm) according to www.ngk.com/ngk-91970-ilnar8b7g-laser-iridium-spark-plug
@@DavidStumph thanks, I already did the job, gapped them .035
