Hello everyone, in this video as you can tell by the title and the thumbnail, we will be changing the spark plugs on my 2015 Subaru WRX. This is my first time doing this and it will definitely not be a perfect step by step tutorial, but I just wanted to document this experience and share it with you all. If you have any tips for next time that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and enjoy!

I also recommend buying a 14 mm 6-sided spark plug deep socket from your local hardware store, preferably magnetic but it doesn’t have to be.

5:50 take off the socket off the adapter, push it in and then clip it back on and your problem is solved
Thanks for the video. Doing my spark plug shortly
I hope it is helpful in some way
Go MAP stage 2 definitely worth it we installed it on my friends 2018 WRX limited
Nice I have to change mines at 50,000 miles too nice tutorial 👍
Its not very necessary, depends on what the cars been through. The normal interval is every 60k miles but even then its not entirely necessary, most people recommend to change it at or before the 100k mile mark.
Tip....put a trickle charger on your battery leads when before you remove them....you'll save all your electronic settings.
Why does that work? Does the plc or whatever run on like 24v and it keeps enough voltage to keep it alive?
@@AFrame88 The trickle charger doesn't double the voltage....it maintains 12 volts to the ECM, ECU....whatever you want to call it. You can zip tie the charger clamps to insure that they don't fall off the battery leads.
Sick beats yo
Hell yeah leaned a lot more confident now
Swapped coilpacks on my Honda this weekend and it took 20 minutes. Then spent the rest of the morning on my friends Subie. What a pain!
guy haha it was a pain.
Did this resolve the misfire?
Bruh, those plugs actually look fine. Could have gone little longer, high key 😂.
That driver side back one was a pain for me too. 😂
xsliick gosh I hated it lol
5 inch extension! Will solve ALL those issues!
how do you fix the speed sensor for the 2015 wrx , I try to bring it to a mechanic and they can't find the part for the car , also went to a subaru dealership and they can't also fine that part it always pops up code p0500, anyone knows
Yeah I had to go to a dealership at dropped like $450 for them to replace it lol. I got ripped off but that’s the way it goes sometimes. If you google it you should be able to find the part.
Is there a tourqe spec on the bolts to the spark plug?
I've seen someone post 12.9 lb on plugs. But in the video he hand tightens spark plug, then does a 1/2 turn on the wrench.
12 lb on the plugs, 6lb on the coil packs
i just hit 60k on my sti and wrx, this looks like a fucking pain.... y’all pray for me lmao
Just fyi, never risk buying spark plugs anywhere other than the dealer. Go to your local subaru dealer, they are a little more, but its gonna be better than any other risk you might take. Always go with OEM.
NGK is actually the brand that makes Subaru’s spark plugs, it was a direct OEM swap ! But yes always good to check
@@stevendunlap4644 they don’t use ngk from the factory...Oem plugs are HKS
Ngk are actually a better spark plug then oem...laser platinum
@@jessejames3748 when he pulls out the factory plugs you can see them labeled as NGK
@@jessejames3748 not true for FA20 models from 2015. Changed the factory installed spark plugs they were in fact NGK
All I'm gonna say is a cordless ratchet makes taking all that bs much more manageable.
Lmao. Nobody ever shows the elusive back driver side plug! It's actually not hard if you have a 5/3 inch extensions. It's the perfect lenth to fit in and give you enough room. Don't get me wrong it is snug. But much easier than people make it look.
How many spark plugs are required ?
oboys1502 just 4 for a 4 cylinder. One for each cylinder
@@TJShoop think it's time to change mind too my car just hit 60k n around 57k I noticed sometimes my car does not start first try. 2nd try it starts up.
Just a word to the wise. Apparently amazon is full of fake spark plugs. I used to buy there too, but will no longer buy spark plugs from amazon. Caused me to get a tow dolly and tow a car from PA to NC last year. The savings were not worth the hassle. I didn’t know about the fake plug issue before I bought those.
Just sayin’.
thank you for the heads up! luckily i have had no issues yet here.
@@TJShoop
I didn't either for about 20-25k miles. Then the problems began. I thought it was faulty coil packs. The spark plugs in a Corolla should be good for an easy 100k miles. I never even thought about the plugs while trying to diagnose the problem long distance.
Hope you got genuine plugs. It can be hard to tell the difference. If you Google it, you'll find plenty of into on counterfeit spark plugs.
@@speedlever can always order it from NGK themselves 🤷🏽♂️
@@cameronhightower889
Or just pick them up locally from an auto parts store.
Why tf would anyone buy any car parts off amazon?

Tip - use anti-seeze on new plug threads.
NGK specifically states not to use anti-seize on their spark plugs
Stop trolling him.... dont put antisieze on plugs! You only had to do that on extremely old plugs.... new plugs such as ngk say NOT to apply anti sieze.
Dont forget to use anti seize on the plug threads and put a dab of dielectric grease in the boot on the coil
383yj NGK doesn’t recommend using anti seize. No need for it
@@DeutschNickOf the literally (many) hundreds of plugs I have changed I haven't had a lot of experience with NGK. I looked up what you said and you are correct. That is for the info. When I see these again I will know.

Honda factory service manual calls for anti-seize on spark plugs but NGK says not to use anti seize. Kind of a dilemma. I finally decided to use a small amount on the plugs because I have to assume the torque values from the fsm are based on using anti-seize.
I haven’t see a factory service manual for the wrx yet. Not sure if they call for it or not.
Good video. Just getting our first wrx (2016) and see the spark plugs are to be replaced at 60k miles. It looked a bit intimidating, but this video makes it look doable for an average shade tree mechanic.
What a pain. That's the problem with that boxer engine. It's a tuner and a pian in the ass to work on.
Kinda why I prefer my coyote in the maintenance aspect… coil packs and plugs are at the top of the value covers😂I’m only here bc lady friend has a WRX 🤣
