2011-2017 Honda Odyssey Spark Plug Replacement DIY 

*Parts and tools listed below* Spark plugs: amzn.to/3qAoq4U Anti-seize: amzn.to/2CXwc35 Dielectric grease: amzn.to/2R4t9Jh Spark plug socket: amzn.to/2YklVFx Magnet: amzn.to/2urk3gw Ratchet: amzn.to/2S07eo1 Extension set: amzn.to/3bXLEMW Wobble extension set: amzn.to/2R8rUJh #ad

I never worked on a car other than changing the light bulbs. Dealership wanted $570 to replace sparkplugs. Bought the magnet plug socket and extentions, 6 sparkplugs iridium. Two small pouches antilock and silicone. $110 dollars later and this man's video. Took my time and I finished everything in like an hour and something. So here's to the dealership 🖕 and thanks to this gentleman. BTW I pulled out those back Fuse boxes and helped give me some room

I don’t know how anyone could find any thumbs down for this video, it was straightforward, to the point, informative, no BS. Great work.

MrRangerZr1 is my NUMBER 1 source to do DIY on the HONDA Odyssey. I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to make all these EXCELLENT videos!

I wish all repair videos were like this one. So helpful, no unnecessary talk. Thank you!

Great video. For anyone watching who’s thinking, “I can’t do this job. There is no room to work or get anything out,” it’s actually not as tight as it looks. I was surprised, as I thought getting the coil packs out would be a lot more difficult. With the exception of the rear one closest to the driver side, the rest were easy. I used a 6” wobble extension for the whole job, which might have made life a little easier, but I’m not sure it was necessary to use on all of them. To find the rear ones, I just leaned on the engine and felt around for the 10-mm nut. The whole thing took maybe 45 min at most.

That hood latch trick to remove that one coil is epic! Great Work!!

Absolutely Fantastic! I loved how you did not run on and on with narration... You know your craft! Thank you. :)

Just replaced all 6 in the wife's 2011 Odyssey thanks to this video... Surprising that the hardest part for me was the clips they were on tight!

Best repair video I’ve ever used. So amazingly put together! Great job and thank you!

Thank you for sharing! Had a misfire code, changed all the spark plugs and coil pack from cylinder in code just to be safe. Watching the video gave me the confidence to do it, pretty straight forward. Much appreciated!

This was great! The angles and subtitles really helped. I was able to do mine in about an hour. Thanks!

Awesome, watched a few videos on the same topic and found this one to be the new standard in diy repair videos. Thank you for uploading it.

Just changed all the spark plugs on my 2015 Honda Odyssey (120,000 miles) thanks to this video. I doubt I could have done it without viewing the video. Took about 1 hour Thank You!

Followed your video...it was extremely helpful. For those not thinking they can do it? It is as simple as this guy makes it look. Thank you!! Thank you! Thank you!!

What a great video! Straightforward, not a bunch of chatter, subtitles and angles helped!

Thank you for this video. Little things like the hood latch and pushing down the hose in the back steepened the learning curve, almost as I’d done it a few times before. I took a little longer than average to get it done, but turned out perfect. Thanks again.

Your video was a life saver! I have never like working on the other side of the motor where I could not clearly see what I was doing. But your video showed it could be done - and so I did!! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this video. Exactly what this non-mechanic needed!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

This is one of the best Videos I have watched on RU-vid on Car repairs may be even the top 10. Very Clean , methodical and extremely useful. No wasted dialogs. Excellent camera to capture cleanest procedure. Keep it up!

Great job. The 3 in the back of the engine are a little tricky but we got her done!

Your video saved us at least $600. Thanks!

I just did my wife's '15 van today. Probably took under 2 hrs, but I kept watching the video, taking my time, and trying to fish out the 10mm socket that fell when I was putting the front coil bolt nut back on. The front ones came out fine after 99K. Was trying to get it done so if there was any leaks, I was still under my 100K extended warranty. :D That said, the back ones were more of a pain. The middle rear coil was blocked by a hose and pipe. I removed those electrical connectors that you see on the video off, so I had more space for my hand/wrists to fit in there. I also had bought the 6" wobble and a flex head ratchet at a local store. The wobble one fit great for the back. The ratchet, not so great as it was a bit long and wasn't as high a tooth setting, so it kept hitting the top of the compartment for the middle and driver side one. IT worked better for the passenger side one. I ended up using a smaller ratchet that wasn't flex head. I found hand tightening with the wobble, THEN putting the ratchet on was best. That middle rear coil, trying to put it back in, actually ripped the top of the rubber (on the end but towards the top of the coil) a bit. I pulled it out a few times to make sure there was no issue, and just reinstalled it. So overall, other than the high cost of the NGK plugs nowadays, it was pretty fine. Thanks

Thanks for this video, the magnetic telescopic tool is a must.

Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful. Really liked how simple and straightforward it is. Got mine resolved in about an hour.

Nice video. Like many here I saved a bunch of money watching your procedure. One tip . For me I had to use a simple 10mm wrench ,instead of the ratchet, for the back coils.

Thanks 👍 best video I have used yet. You know what your doing and don't have to blab on about what you are doing. I appreciate it.

Thanks for your video. I had to replace an ignition coil and I was nervous about reaching the back of the engine due to space and visibility. From your video you made it look easy and I got the job done this afternoon. Plan on changing the plugs after the new year.

Thank you, for a wannabe home mechanic this was very helpful for me. I was able to successfully change out the cylinder 1 spark plug because of your video. Appreciate it!

Thanks for the video. Just finished mine 2016 Odyssey. Everything was spot on!

Great video. Straight to the point - thank you 🙏

Doing my 2015 Odessey today; front plugs done. Now the rest....I'm using wife's mirror to see the back of engine. You've definitely done this engine before. Hardest plug R&R was my bullet proof 1992 V6 Camry. My back let me know! ☺️ I need to see before I feel around. Good video.👍

this video was a HUGE help! thanks for making! I found that i didn't need the flex head wrench or addtional 3" extension, just the 6", the deep socket, and a short-handled wrench, but also see how it could have been easier with those additional tools

Everyone below me already said it, but I'll say it again, Excellent Video, straight, to the point, no clowning or long drawn out jabber, just work. Excellent my man, excellent.

Thanks for the vid! Replaced plugs today in about 2 hours.

Thank you! Great video with _no pounding rock music_ . I don't mind a narration but you didn't need it. I haven't decided to do this myself but now understand exactly what it would take. Back in the day I could just jump in the engine compartment next to my Comet 6-cyl and replace plugs in 20 min. Good thing because I had to fix something every week. Everything has changed.

Great straight forward video to fix misfire - my code was P0301 for first cylinder. Replaced the coil in 1st cylinder, watching this video made it very much possible. Thank you

Perfect video. Replaced my Odyssey’s spark plugs and ignition coils today. Thanks!

Very helpful. I never even knew wobble extensions existed. Thank you.

best instructive and detailed video, I watched many related videos, this video offered extra detail where it was needed. so good is this video that i had to comment

This should be the standard for DIY videos. Thank you.

Thanks for a amazing video. Like so many other comments you greatly help me. Much appreciated!

Outstanding tutorial. After watching, I fearlessly replaced the cause of my misfire- the plug for cylinder #2- its the middle one in the rear. I used a "lesser" Autolite iridium for this as a temporary fix. I have a full set of Denso Iridium arriving soon, but will not install them until the S-VCM controller arrives. I am 100% certain that the VCM system is flawed and must be disabled to prevent this misfire nonsense from happening. The van gets ridiculously good fuel mileage so if MPG takes a slight hit for the sake of dependability, so be it. I used a 6" wobble extension and a 5/8" spark plug socket with the rubber insert. Thank you.

Amazing tutorial. Thanks for the work.

Top notch video. Helped me change a coil out in 15 minutes. Thanks!

Straight to the point, awesome!

Thanks for the great video man! Helped me get it done. Used a deep 5/8 spark plug socket with rubber fitting inside to hold plug secure while replacing them. I used a half inch socket set; 2x swivel joints with a 3" extension in between with the plug socket on the end. Easily snaked into the holes. Tough plugs were: front right- hold hood latch up to get out; back center- tight fit- flex up to right; back right- flex hose away. Number one thing for me was don't drop the nuts or tools; move very slowly and deliberately so you don't bump something and drop what you're holding. Thanks for all the help man!

Great easy video. I had a check engine light throwing code p0303, cylinder 3 misfire detected on my 2012 Odyssey. I followed your instruction and now it’s free of check engine light and runs good. Great video and keep up the good work. It’s because of this video I had the courage to finally change my first pain in the butt V6 engine in such tight space. Thanks

When I had my 2004 Odyssey, I did the plugs no problem. For my 2017, instead of a 6" wobble, I used (2) 3" socket extensions. Not sure if your Odyssey was an LX or a different year, but it seemed like I had a much tighter area to work with, lots of hoses, AC lines to deal with. Almost gave up before I did the rear, but it wasn't as bad as I thought, was intimidating doing everything by feel.

Exceptionally Clear and thorough video! Thank you!

Thank you for posting this video I appreciate the process and clarity to it all! Thank you!

I would be dropping the coil nuts many times. You make it look so easy!

Thank you so much for uploading this video!

Just did it thanks to your video. Thank you!

Thanks Dude. You made it look simple. No BS😀

Great video. I gotta do this in the Spring.

This is good and informational video. Thanks my dude!

Thanks for your video. I had a misfire on #1 and this helped me immensley!

Glad to see it’s not hard on this one. Thank you

Thank you so much for the video I saved a lot of money.

Telescopic Magnet is a life saver ! Also great if you happen to drop a bolt or nut down in engine bay saved me numerous times 😂

Absolutely fantastic video. Amazing how videoed the back three.

Thank you so much of your detailed video. Just saved bunch of money. Hehe.

Thank you so much for this video!

Excellent video, brother! Super helpful

Excellent camera work.

Thank you for posting, very helpful.

I have no clue how you got the middle ignition coil in the back out so easily. What a pain! Great video!

Great video 👍👍👍

Great help! Thank you.

Very helpful, thanks.

Thank you for the video!!!

Awesome.. super helpful. I had a spark plugs socket with rubber insert. If you have one, take the insert out and use magnet. Mine came off on the new spark plug and didn't notice. I then put coil on, well tried. It wouldn't seat flush. That's when I realized what happened. What a nightmare trying to get that rubber insert out

Thanks. I just picked up a used 2012 Odyssey and plan to replace my plugs soon. Looks like I may have an excuse to buy a new ratchet

Thanks for this great video

I just replaced the plugs on my 2013 Honda Odyssey. Found this video to be very helpful in refreshing my memory from the 1999 Odyssey. A couple of things though.... The front side is easy. The only problem I had was getting the coil wire connector off the coil. The looked so easy on the video but really hard in the real world. My trick that made it easy was to use a pair of needle nose pliers to gently squeeze the connector in the spot that releases the connector and then pull gently. It came right off then. Evidently Mr Ranger knows exactly where to squeeze. The back side are much harder then the front due to all the congestion, you can't see what you are doing, and those sharp coolant hose clamps. I could not get the coil wire connector off until I took the coil nut off and pulled the coil assembly out so I could see the connector and get the needle nose pliers on it. Then it came offeasily. The whole project took just over 2 hours and I think if I did it again I could cut an hour off. I saved about $325 doing this myself. All it cost was the plugs (had all the tools required) and a little skin. Thanks MrRangerZr1 !

awesome video, just replaced spark plugs on my 2014 Honda Pilot, followed your instructions verbatim....really made it relatively easy!!! Thanks so much...!!!

Great video, thank you

This video saved the day!! Thank you so much for such a detailed video. I had never worked on any car, and this was an excellent guide to use! 🙏🏼

Thank you! 👍👍👍👍

Thank for this. Ive had my 2016 Odyssey for a little less than 2 years and about 3 weeks ago she went bananas, all dash lights flashing and running rough. I took her to a shop and paid $497.00 for 1 bad sparkplug and coil. 😐 Then, 2 weeks later same situation. This tutorial helped me to change out the other 5 plugs for $40. 🙂 Easy to follow and no annoying blathering on. Thank You!

Good jobs!

Thank you for sharing this video. I just received a check engine Misfire for cylinder 2. I wanted to see how easy it would be to get to the rear three plugs. I'm hoping it's just the plug and not the coil

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for posting this! I need to fix a fouled plug on my 2011 Honda Odyssey. The Fouled Plug fix from Honda Service doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Great video, thanks so much! I was able to get all the plugs out and just wrapping up. How much is 16 lb ft of torque by feel? When you're installing the plug on the front side, it doesn't even look like you used the socket wrench, that can't be right, is it? In the rear it looks like you did give it a pretty good tighten with the socket wrench. Any insight to feel greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

The sparkplug on the backside of motor looks like fun. Lol😊

I highly recommend to use 1/4 ratchet due to not enough space in engine room.

Thank you

Great video - thanks. My plug threads in front were dull orange, but the back 3 were shiny, maybe slightly moist - is that a potential problem?

I need to do this to a '17 Acura MDX, should be pretty similar.

About to press play Findlay Honda in Las Vegas is asking $400 for spark plug replacement 🤦‍♂️ hope this is pretty simple

Gracias por your help with my Honda l save money 💰💰💰💰💰

Hi, Thank you so much for the detailed video. I'm planning on getting this done and want to do it myself. can you please suggest if there is any specific ones i can buy or i can get anything from my local store. Can you please advise. what i'm seeing is some iridium ones, Copper OE ones. if you can please let me know i would like to start there and try this myelf

Amazing video!!! Thank you so much!!! No misfire anymore, but light still on on the dashboard.... any suggestion?

Great video - looks a little challenging, and requires some tools I don't have, but looks like a good project and something I could do. Wondering if my original plugs with 115K on them will come out! Anyones thoughts?

Excellent!! At what point is the wobble tool needed and will a 3" extension also work or 4 5 and 6?

@mrRangerZr1 You just saved me $400! BIG thanks to you and the random guys video who showed me how to diagnose the dead ignition coil by unplugging each while the engines running. Really appreciate it!!!

What is the gaping space for the spark plugs? I bought new ones at Autozone and it's not pregap for my 2014 Odyssey and all my old factory spark plugs have different gap sizes. My first time changing my spark plugs at 100000 miles.

Any recommendations on what brand tools to use? Not the best but ones that are good enough to get the job done.
