I actually bought a magnet on a flex hose to instead of an magnetic socket. Asked to a magnetic socket idiot at O’Relly auto didn’t give it to me. When to Harbor Freight. Other than that excellent video 👍🏽

@eddeewhat5553 that's an awesome work around. I may try to use that in the future if I am in a pinch. I always have hose around. Appreciate the feedback on the video as well!

[@ChapinBlaugrana12]

Thanks for the video. I always put a little amount of white grease on threads, to remove them easy in the future changes.

Since this guy is wrong on the spark plug socket (14mm), i better Look for the Gap somewhere else

[@EngineeredMojo]

Good to know bro! Good luck finding a 14mm spark plug socket at a walk in store in a pinch 😀

Thanks for the video, man. I'm curious as to why the plugs were being changed at 40k miles when they're scheduled to last 120k?

[@masterwrong3110]

Maybe Toyota is not using the platinum tip ones? Definitely not iridium. But my maintenance manual says 60,000 intervals.

[@nottelling4828]

@@masterwrong3110 I got you. You're more than likely correct for your model. My wife has a 2020 XLE.

[@masterwrong3110]

@@nottelling4828 buddy, I came to inform you that Toyota is using the iridium denso spark plugs on the chr. Just changed mine yesterday. And the 15mm worked better than the 9/16 socket in my case. Hope it helps👍🏻 idk why Toyota recommends 60k spark plug intervals then? That’s weird

[@masterwrong3110]

Denso spark plug SC16HR11 is the exact spark plug # that is stamped on them

[@masterwrong3110]

So I’ve been at it for 20-30 minutes on one and it won’t come off. Never changed them before and I’m at 82,000 miles

[@EngineeredMojo]

Have you tried spraying a bit of penetrating oil e.g. PB Blaster or something similar. I'd spray inside the spark plug tube, let it sit for a few minutes and got back at it gently though so not to break spark plug inside hole

[@masterwrong3110]

@@EngineeredMojo I got it! Had to use a 15mm instead of the 9/16. 9/16 socket was barely grabbing it, just slipping. 15mm broke them right away

[@EngineeredMojo]

@Master Wrong nice! Glad it worked out easily
