Excellent video. I was able to replace the spark plugs in my 2013 Avalon Hybrid XLE by following along. After removing the OEM plugs I was able to see they were DENSO FK16HR-A8. Replaced with DENSO IKH16 (5343). The replacements work well, however, I now see the replacements are only rated for 30k miles. A better choice would probably have been DENSO FK16HR-A8 (3484) which are rated for 80-100k. Also, I purchased a torque wrench and tightened the plugs to 15 ft-lb.
The OE spark plug for a 2015 Avalon HV is DENSO 3484 (FK16HR-A8). Since you removed three Motocraft plugs and one DENSO plug, that means that at least three plugs were changed before 200k miles. Also, the next time you change the engine air filter, you should clean the throttle body.
thanks for the tutorial... 200k on those spark plugs! wow they look good for that many miles! did you consider changing the spark plug wires while you were at it?
Lol ... it was at a workshop for a week ... workshop wasn't in the desert it was in NYC ... i don't know how it's possible to get this engine bay this dirty being in NYC 😂
How are they charging you $700 ... that is way too much ... spark plugs costed me $38 i believe and then the labor can not be $662 ... did they do anything else
@@mechanicallyinclined2715 OP said 6, the V6 unfortunately is not as quick and easy as the hybrid 4. The tech manual says to remove the intake manifold to get to the rear plugs. so not only 2 additional genuine plugs for cost, there are added costs with throttle body gaskets, intake gaskets, and of course additional labor. $700 is closer to being correct than just the cost of 4 champion plugs. But that being said, anyone mechanically inclined could do it themselves for considerably less.
@Joe Schmo yes you are right ... I have done spark plugs on a v6 which requires taking off the intake manifold and it is a lot of work but you don't need to replace gaskets if they are not bad or cracked ... I have used those gaskets again and there were no problems ... still does not count for $700

@@mechanicallyinclined2715 lol, wierd looks like dirt and water got into it. Cant trust those workshops
Engine looks like it belongs in a chase car to a salt truck.
I’m trying to find the original grounding cable that snapped there
From toyota dealer i think ... but any grounding cable that sells on autozone or ebay would work just check the cables length

What would you say is a fair price to replace the spark plugs, after parts and labor on the v6 2014?
