- When it's time to change your spark plugs, it's easier than you think on the Impreza / Crosstrek! All you need is a little bit of patience and the right tools, and you'll be good to go in no time.
I didn't mention this in the video, but it is recommended you check each spark plug for the proper gap. These come pre-gapped at .044", but there are cases where the gap may be altered during shipping. The best way to check the gap on IRIDIUM plugs is by using a wire spark gap tool (I used this one: www.amazon.com/CTA-Tools-3238.... Check each plug to ensure they are gapped at .044" before installing. I checked mine after I installed just to be sure upon learning the importance of spark plug gap. Mine were perfectly in spec right out the box. There are many tutorials on here on how to gap Iridium plugs. The wire gap gauge is recommended for Iridium plugs because it prevents damage to the fine tip electrode.

I also confimed the spark plug gap being at .044" by checking my old plugs, which also all came out to .044".
Almost there to 60k on my Impreza didn’t know how to change them till now thank you love the content
Very good walkthrough! So far I love the content you’re putting out and have the cleanest Impreza sport I’ve seen! You’ve also inspired my girlfriend to start to piece some mods for her 2016 sport hatch! You got my sub!
Thank you for this. Had a history of inline engines and the FB def threw me a curve. Btw nice setup 👍
Nicest DYI plug video on youtube!
Great video. I wish I would have seen this before taking my car in... we got the same car...
It was really pretty easy and only took 1 hour. I used a couple of hinged extensions along the way. Also getting the new plugs started with a length of fuel line on the tip made that part a breeze. I did have to use a long nose pliers to get the old plugs out of the deep holes.
Small learning curve, It's definitely not as hard as some UA-camrs make it out to be,..i got it down to 20 minutes, piece a cake...
I want to buy the same spoiler you have, do you have a link to where you purchased it. Love the car, keep up the good content.
Thank you for the advice. I’ll do the same with my car (Impreza 2014). The spark plugs you installed (Iridium) are better than the originals?
Damn, I just dropped mine off at the shop to get the spark plugs changed. Shoulda waited a day and watched this.
Where did you get those tail lights from I can’t seem to find them on the internet
How do you like the billet power blocks?
where did you get the black subie logos?
Put a little anti-seize on them works great
Will the same tools work for 2018 crosstrek?
Is your Subaru a 2017 hatchback Impreza? Thanks.
Is anti seize lube necessary?
Ur ram pipe is custor or after market?
It is an AEM cold air intake specially made for this engine.
You need to dunk that positive battery terminal and pillar in a solution of sodium bicarbonate and boiling hot water to clean that corrosion off and then smear some Vaseline on it.
how many hp is your car
How often do you clean your engine bay?
Not often enough lol
Willis Do it’s really clean that’s why I asked hahaha
This was not easy it took me 4 hours lol especially if I was new In doing hands on work on my car. Spark plugs they where pain in the ass tho
Also I have a Sedan so less space for it in the engine bay
It took me 3 hours. I needed a 1/4" flex drive with a 10mm socket to remove coil #4.
-slammed wheels
Just why
