In this video and show the steps and procedures Necessary to replace the spark plugs on the 2.7 L eco-boost engine. It’s particular vehicle is a 2015 F150 XLT. Ford recommend you replace the spark plugs every 40 to 50,000 miles. Because these eco-boost engine is our turbo charged They can follow up in carbon up a lot quicker than other engines. And in most cases it will cause a bad misfire. There’s no special tools required to do this job however there are a couple tops And trucks on the way to help you out. Always use high-quality in as he is in dielectric grease when installing spark plugs in aluminum heads. This will help remove all of the spark plug later down the road and it will preserve the threads in the head. I hope this video has been helpful if it has please like and subscribe. If you have any questions please leave something in the comment section. Thank you for watching

Thanks aaron. Will use your video. Your video was excellent. We followed it like the gospel. Thank you

@mikestanish6694 Год назад

Excellent video. Guys like you make it possible for the rest of us to do general maintenance on these modern engines. Thank you !!

This video helps anyone with experience turning a wrench know how long / involved this job will be without having to think about it or scratch your head. It's easy. Thanks for sharing.

@toddkammer3012 2 года назад

Thanks Aaron! I know my way around the garage quite well, but watching someone walk through it beforehand was very helpful. $75 for the plugs and an hour or two of my time was a lot better than the $350 the dealership wanted to do the job (although my chest is sore from leaning over the fenders for two hours). Appreciate it!

NEVER use an Impact to remove or Install Spark plugs...good video

@jasonmunger8409 2 года назад

At one point he said he used a torque wrench

@michaelfreeman8458 4 месяца назад

He didn't. He only used that for the cover. He even mentioned the proper torque is 11 pounds/ feet.

@trackerjacker0013 4 года назад

Nicely executed. I’m a tech by trade, and those were things I was told as a young thundercat and I’m glad it’s getting passed on. Very well done.

@marksalamack6133 3 года назад

My idea of an excellent tutorial...good camera angles, the complete list of tools, and when and where you need them...also good flow with the audio, no hesitation, and he knows what he is talking about .....the people who gave it thumbs down, probably thought that you do this with a pair of vise grips

@brianah23 4 года назад

Great video. I did the right side first and immediately thought nothing is ever easy for me! But the left side was a breeze as there was ample more room to work with. Again, thanks for the video.

@ajveldusea1876 6 месяцев назад

Awesome, thank you Aaron. Spark plugs are not done often so it is nice to review prior to maintenance. Thank you for your great video.

@StrangerInAStrange 8 месяцев назад

Nicely done Aaron. I'm getting ready to do this on my '17 F150 and you presented everything very clearly.

@djmechell 3 года назад

Completed this project this past weekend. Total time was 1.5hrs, and that’s with 30 minutes in the passenger back plug, #3. I recommend to unhook, what I believe is the heater hose, that blocks the access to the #3. Way easier. I’ve heard from another mechanic I follow on RU-vid say to change out the plugs at about 45k, ended up changing them at 53k and glad I did because I couldn’t believe how bad the plugs were. I run full synthetic oil changes at 5k miles intervals as well. Kinda perplexed as to why my plugs were so bad. Runs way smoother now and I didn’t even realize it didn’t before until after I changed the plugs. 8mm deep socket is very helpful BTW.

@mattboucher5095 2 месяца назад

Awesome video Aaron. The direction was spot on. I just completed the replacement on my 2016 F150 2.7 L with 130,000 miles on the original plugs. Surprisingly the original plugs still looked good and did not have any misfires. I sure appreciate your video after getting quotes for $520 and $1200 for spark plug replacement.

@Mi_Tony 4 года назад

Great video pretty straight forward. But when you say “it’s that easy” is a red flag for me. Because it usually at that point it all goes down hill for me. 😂😡

@billymc2681 4 года назад

Your video was spot on. Used it to swap my plugs. That #3 is a PITA...but just keep at and eventually you get it done. Swapping all 6 took me about an hour. I hope you realize that is a 3.5 EcoBoost in the thumbnail...not a 2.7!

@amantalv 6 месяцев назад

EXACTLY THIS! :-)

@TimGambill1984 2 месяца назад

Yeah it's #3 that I've currently been trying to get to for about an hour and a half now. I just can't get it unclipped with that hose in the way.

@nordicpride9708 Год назад

Great video. Just a heads up Motorcraft iridium plugs ARE NOT to be gapped. If they get damaged (almost impossible) you have to just buy another one. They aren’t like a copper plug. Good practice to check them however.

@lostinmyspace4910 4 года назад

Love the video...straight forward. I used to do all my spark plugs on all my Ford trucks until I bought the famous 2005 F150 (two part plug that often seized and broke). But now my 2016 F150, 2,7 liter should be like a piece of cake, and I''ll also celebrate with ice cream. Plugs are so easy to do. THUMBS UP!!!!

@robertclymer6948 4 месяца назад

Gonna have to get out my step ladder on this one. The 4x4 sits pretty high, lol

@lostinmyspace4910 4 месяца назад

@@robertclymer6948 And seriously, don't forget the boogie board when you're reaching the very back plug, and you have to lay on top of the motor to stretch out to reach the # 4 plug. Or a small sheet of half inch plywood. Good luck!

@BazejTuszynski Год назад

great video, I've never done an oil change on my new f150 however i did on my previous truck which was f250 and the oil pan draining is similar so wanted to watch and see if there's any tricks. Here's a good pointer, when you're ready to drain the oil and about to turn that yellow plug, beware you don't take an oil bath because it will shoot horizontally out so you may want to get something to block it from going all over the place and preventing an oil bath like i did the first couple times.

@lostinmyspace4910 4 года назад

Aaron...easy peasey...Thanks greatly. THUMBS UP!! Don't forget guys, if you come here to find out about your 2.7 Ford motor, give Aaron the respect and give him a THUMBS UP!!!

@rockhill8487 Год назад

Great video! Really helps me when the video starts with a general overview INCLUDING the tools etc that are required, just like you did. On my 2018 F150 4x4 Lariat 2.7 I found the drivers side rear (#6 i beleive?) the toughest as 2 EGR/plastic lines were right over it along with a slew of wire harnesses and branches. I actually ended up sitting on the battery to do the passenger side, and standing on a 5 gallon bucket of drywall mud to do the driver side as i didn't want to disassemble the intake piping - and I am a pretty tall dude but BOY are they tucked back in and down in that engine cavity! The old ones all looked ok - consistent wear and coloring across al of them, but I had 90k on this rig and noticed a bit of delay when I floored it on occasion. Dealer only had OEM plugs and was ignorant of any alternatives (plus they told me i only needed 4 plugs!) and as i understand it i am better off with colder running plugs so I went with NGK ILTR7N8 plugs from oh oh oh O'reilly's and they are performing great.

Thanks you ever crossthread a spark plug... I have .My brother showed me a trick with small rubber hose. Put it on the end of the plug hose need to be tightenough to hold the weight of the plug.Turn hose to the right.You can feel if you got the spark plug started.

@chrismcgowan2261 3 года назад

Great video . There is no easy way to #3. You just have to bend the hell out of the silicone boot and pull it out. I did not remove the heater core hose. It can be done.

@sauniergmail 2 года назад

Great vid, but, thought it was interesting not showing cyl 3 taking out boot etc. By far hardest part of the job due to harness. :)

@skrawny-clown-snatcherofth8651 3 года назад

This just saved me 500 bucks today I'm a decent shade tree mechanic but was basically being lazy and not wounting to do this till I saw this and realized it's stupid easy

@obxmaui1668 2 года назад

Saved me a bunch of $$$ and time.... only thing I would add... I used an old 1" thick yoga mat, laid across the front of the engine bay, and just got into #3 with both hands. Not as bad when you're right on top of it.

@lucwilson1 4 года назад

Decent video, thanks for showing the little details. However, I see that there's a reason you didn't show accessing plug/coil #3 (rearmost passenger side)... You know why?? Because it's GIGANTIC PAIN IN THE ASS!!!

@brohammer419 3 года назад

I just changed mine out on my 2015. How long did you wait before you changed yours? I was at 95,000 miles and I developed a misfire in 3 of the cylinders. Replacing them did the trick. Thanks of course to this great video

@lostinmyspace4910 4 года назад

OK Arron. Finally got the spark plugs replaced this Sunday. Driver's side took about a half hour. The passenger side, plug number 3 was a real pain in the buttinski. The cable from the firewall PCM lines up straight over it along with another hose, converging right over the 3rd plug. I mean, it was terrible. Couldn't even grab the harness loom to pull up. Finalgled it with a screwdriver, and am smart enough to not attach that one back on the stud to make it easier next 50,000 miles. Finding enough angle to get the extension bits in the hole with the socket...another pain. I spent more on that plug alone than the entire left bank of plugs. But you stIill put on a GREAT VIDEO. And I know doing it myself is better than relying on any mechanic that takes short cuts and perhaps ignores plug number 3, or doesn't want to use dielectric grease on the plugs, or antiseize on the threads.

@SemCountyCaveDiver 3 года назад

The #3 plug was beyond aggravating!

@cookienator234 2 года назад

Was using coil boot to pull out old spark plug. Passenger back left couldn’t get to it, so I through some painters tape inside my socket to make it a tight fit and was able to pull it right out

60K brother

@WalterMelons 4 года назад

T&S Automotive in the manual it says 100k. I’m right at like 63k on mine and I’ve been getting lower mpgs after air filter replace and properly aired up tires so I’ll pull the plugs to check and replace them.

@tsautomotive5006 4 года назад

I know, SMH, same thing with the 10K oil change; and those recommendations are only for the most opportune conditions, sadly climate and other factors keep most from being able to stick to that if they want the truck to perform well.

@tsautomotive5006 4 года назад

If it has a fuel filter, it never hurts to change that out too, normally the motorcraft part is about 12 bucks

@WalterMelons 4 года назад

T&S Automotive I’m not sure if it does I’ll have to check. I do have a cel for p2450 though that I have to get checked out. Apparently there’s a tsb for it and it might be covered under emissions warranty. 🤞

@ftby59mikeD 5 лет назад

Nice job! One recommendation, you might want to make note of which coilpack comes from which cylinder. I # them with a marker, helps when determining a misfire plug vs. coil. Thanks & keep them coming!

@djaudubon10 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the guidance. Cylinder 3 made me want to rip my hair out, but I've saved probably $200 in labor and my gas mileage is back to normal. I guess next time I shouldn't wait 129k miles to change them out.

@brandonstark3121 4 года назад

Very helpful video for changing them out for the first time. Would have been nice to see how he removed the coil and plug from the passenger side rear cylinder. That thing kicked my butt for over an hour. Finally got it in though. All the other cylinders were a breeze.

@Ladysman_217 2 года назад

@AreaThirteenThirteen 4 года назад

I have a 2016 2.7 and pulled the engine cover off and the setup was slightly different than the 2012 3.5 eco I used to have and thought I would have to disconnect the wiring harness to get the coil packs out until I found this video then found out there is just enough slack in the wires to get them out, the rear passenger side one was a little tight but got the job done...they say you can go 100K on plugs nowadays but boosted engines put more stress on plugs than similar N/A engines...I changed mine at 65K miles even though I wasn't having any misfire issues etc.

@michaelmay4648 8 месяцев назад

Well done simple n prevented damage. Connectors were a puzzle for me. 👍 cheers

@rickydrip4050 Год назад

This was super helpful man. Only thing different from mine was there was more wiring around the 6 that I had to disconnect. My occ hose was also above the 6

@scooterpickle8625 Год назад

Great video! I noticed on your ignition coils, the male part of the plug is grey. Same with your spark plug boots. Mine are all black on my 2018. I wonder, why? Also, you really shouldn't be using anti-seize on spark plugs, unless you don't care and plan on getting rid of the vehicle before they need to be replaced again. My plugs came out with a firm flick of the wrist after 77,000 miles, and the new ones threaded right in with no resistance or chatter. So this tells me that there really is no need for anti-seize. I know that there are two, borderline religious, camps on this issue, but from everything I've read, I've never seen any manufacturer recommend anti-seize on spark plugs. I also never spoke to a professional mechanic that does it, either. At any rate, this video helped me tremendously! Great job!

@classproject1433 4 года назад

followed step by step entirely and in it went well.

@nairblooc 5 лет назад

There may be different schedules based on fleet. Looking at my Ford F-150 owners manual for 2015, the schedule for replacing spark plugs is at 100k miles. Again, Fleet may have a different schedule. Just FYI.

Gap .28-.31 Aluminum antisieze Dielectric grease 3/8 ratchet extensions 5/8 plug socket 8mm deep 10mm deep Compressor blow gun Stool Torque plugs to 11ftlbs Bob’s your uncle thanks Aaron

@jeasongagnon4332 4 года назад

Fyi, the passenger rear one is super tough to get out. I ended up not doing that one. All the other 5 are manageable. Also, most importantly, you meed a telescopic magnet tool to get all the plugs out!

@antisnafu 4 года назад

Jeason Gagnon no you don’t. You need a spark plug socket which has a rubber grommet inside that basically grabs the spark plug the same way a spark plug boot or coil pack does. If you don’t have that, put some grease inside of the socket and it’ll pull the plug out.

@Oreo_5oh 5 лет назад

On the 18 2.7 it has direct and port injection so the carbon build up isn’t a concern (other than a normal occurrence)

@FloridaCoastalGuy 2 года назад

Exactly

@arthurleal2674 7 месяцев назад

Yes good video and something a home mechanic can still do. So I assume that the computer will adjust from the new sparks and nothing has to be done with "resetting" to say. I still remember the old points you had to adjust on the distributor and use a timing light. Now its all done electronically and instantly. Again thanks for the video. I will be doing this one day. I need to just buy some antifreeze gel - certainly dont want to strip into the heads - would not be good $$$$$$$ only have 34k sofar on this 2017.

@georgeunderwood911 Год назад

Thanks! One thing you didn't mention is which plugs. Ford seems to have changed their recommended plugs for the 2.7 twice since I bought my 2016. Also there are some out there recommending a colder plug for performance. I dont think the heat range should be changed on the stock engine. I did some research and will use the stock plug currently recommended by Ford as of today: SP-594 (12Y), or an equivalent with same heat range.

@SuperFrogman69 10 месяцев назад

Yeah. Ford installed the SP-542 on the 2015 2.7 then changed them over to SP-594. I tend to use the factory plugs, as well as filters. I have a 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and a 2015 Ford F150 XLT with the 2.7.

Thank you. For your step by step lesson, question do I need to replace the boots or the coil packs when changing spark plugs

@63canso 3 месяца назад

The spark plugs come with a special coating that acts as an antiseize so antiseize is not needed. Also, every spark plug manufacturer recommends against putting antiseize on spark plugs as it promotes over torquing of the plugs and possible thread damage.

No, unless you see damage such as cracks or the rubber deteriorating.

@peytonbass5396 3 года назад

I'll be doing this myself, but I noted that 2 minutes in you said Ford recommends changing them out 40-50K miles. My local dealer and 3 others will not touch them until it is nearly 100K miles. My Ford Owners Manual says the same. Where did you find the recommendation from Ford to change them at 50K?

@drakeb6168 3 года назад

with being a turbo engine, 100k is a bit too far honestly. I personally change my own between 30-45k miles on anything with a turbo to ensure it is within its prime operation.

@stifflers69mom1 5 лет назад

@evanyoungworks 5 лет назад

Thanks for the vid! However, I personally would have appreciated more footage of finagling the coil packs and spark plugs off. I ended up needing to remove a good about of the wiring harness, particularly on the left side of the engine, EVAP hose on the right and the back left plug which was under the harness and coolant line, that was was next to impossible to get at. I would also say, my plugs after 93k looked very good, in hind sight had I known, would have waited to 150 or 200k to do them. Totally get why you replaced your tho.

@josedelarosa6449 5 лет назад

Did mine today, #3 was the challenge. Had to unplug the harness from the firewall n the heater hose was a bit of a challenge to remove the coil pack.

on this motor no, older engines with alot od carbon build up yes. and especially yes for the 5.4 3v motors. but foe the 2.7 you can remove the plug anytime. hot or cold
