Spark plug change done on a 5th Gen 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. A shop will charge $150-200 to change plugs. Do it yourself and save money!!! #SparkPlugs #tuneup #Chevrolet #Camaro #ChevyCamaro
Good video. I recommend using anti seize on the new spark plugs and to also check the gap to make sure they haven’t changed. Also make sure there is grease on the coil to prevent water working it’s way down.
The plugs are currently $7 on RockAuto. The shop most likely buy in bulk from somewhere and gets a discount. But even at $42 for parts, 200-42 means the remaining $158 would be labor. $158 for a 30-45 min job is insane lol
@@shanehowe766I agree that no one should work for free or pennies on the dollar. However, I just changed my spark plugs for the first time on this car, and it took so little time, I went in and removed/cleaned the throttle body along with swapping out my cabin filter and intake filter. All easily accessible. Both filters took me 2 minutes. Removing the throttle body took me 3 minutes and cleaning it took maybe 7. Hell I even thought about cleaning my engine while I was at it. Had I paid a shop to do this It probably would've cost me upwards of $400 to $500. A dealership likely would've been more. Mechanics should get good pay but charging that kind of money for such a simple job is a rip off. They cash in on the laziness and/or ignorance of others.
Hey man, thanks so much for keeping this video up on RU-vid! I just changed the spark plugs for the first time watching your video step by step and it was a success. Appreciate you and have a good day
I just used this video to change the spark plugs in my 2013 LT V6 Camaro. Thank you so much for posting this content. Seeing the walkthrough helped immensely and got my baby running again.
Omg I just finished watching. I have a 2011 I've had for 7 years with 76k miles. The coils or sparks have never been changed. This is undeniably easy. I'm so glad the video was in my feed. I'm doing this on Monday. I was about to pay someone to do this but knew I could do it myself if I found the right video. I'll be back with my results. I know for a fact I can do this after watching this. I'm excited.😂 about to watch so more of your videos to see what else I can do myself. Thannnnnnk You
I know I’m very late but seeing you open the oil cap made me laugh because I had a mechanic doing a change and I peeked in to see him with vice grips trying to unscrew it, I ran into the shop told him to stop and pulled it up😂💀
Oh I Think I Got This. I Made An Appointment To Get My Spark Plugs Done. I’m About To Cancel That Appointment And Do Myself 🤞🏼 I Have A 2010 I Haven’t Had Them Done Since I Got My Camaro In 2011 😬 🙏🏼
Can you or anyone tell me what the hose at the top front part of the engine is? I can hear a vacuum leak but I can’t find the right part. And Terrance, your video got me through my first ever spark plug change. Appreciate your help, time, and effort man.
Arrived looking for explanation to the leak-sound on the passenger side of engine near top/front. Interesting I wasn't alone. I did try testing for vacuum leaks with traditional methods and the engine made no notice of the chem I was spraying around the intake manifold. Not going to panic as car runs great and no codes.
I get my plugs from Ebay. First set changed at 80,000 putting second set in at a 180,000. And yes put antisieze on spark plug threads and dielectric grease on the orings on the coils.
9:04 hey the thing ur holding, what is that cause the plastic tube connected to it accidentally broke and it’s currently holding on via gorilla glue and tape
I couldn’t get the spark plug to loosen up. Might just take it to a family mechanic :/ didn’t want to spray wd40 inside getting random p0300 codes bought ignition coils just incase
Don’t let shit fall past the spark plug is what I read. spray around there to clean while it’s in. I had to replace coil on mine and code went away, but I should have replaced all of them. Still have p0420 lol need to get o2 spacer.
