I'm not exaggerating when I say this but EVERYTIME I have repairs on my (or family/friends) cars, 1A Auto has the exact video I need. Detailed, informative, thorough, PERFECT. Thank you so much!
Wow! This is the best instructional video for spark plug removal and replacement. The Master Mechanic is very thorough at explaining the entire process! Thank you so much! My 2004 Toyota 4Runner has 243,000 miles on the engine and still running strong!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you-now this SUV is running smoothly as silk! Purchased 2004 4Runner with new tires & 350,000 mi from family member for $2,000, knowing it might cost me $. When it started vibrating or misfiring under load, I checked some things & then took it to a shop that proposed $701 total & $24 each for 6 plugs. Hadn’t changed any spark plugs in about 20 years, but if you’re gonna pay someone $500 in labor for a “tuneup,” why do you own all these socket wrenches? Got great iridium plugs for $11.79 each and did it myself only $125 out of pocket, including $50 to that shop although they probably should have told me one of the connections was probably loose in the first place. I didn’t discover it until I’d already changed 4 plugs.

very good post. the only critique I have is that dielectric grease is not conductive and is an insulator, so be mindful to keep it off of the metal electrical connectors! It's for rubber boots and connector seals ONLY!
Would someone please clarify something for me. Dielectric grease. I have watched two or three videos and read a little about it . I am confused. 1/2 of the information I’ve gotten contradicts the other half. The packaging of the brand I bought is no help either. Had I gone with the first information I don’t think it would’ve hurt anything. The guy said dielectric grease was to stop electricity from arcing somewhere it should not go. Stop current from flowing. For use on ceramic area and rubber boot only. I’m not using it until I know for sure. It seems ridiculous but I am no pro mechanic. Thank you. I am working on a 1996 GEN 3,3.4 L,V6 Toyota forerunner. Also would like to know if it is best to get OEM spark plug wires or the blue NKG‘s I see nearly everyone using online. I’m thinking original is better for no other reason than it’s original.BUT . I did buy NKG spark plugs because the Guy at NAPA auto told me they were better than the original copper DENSCO plugs also he did not have any. In general more comfortable with original stuff. Does anybody know where to get the best price on original equipment for these trucks? Thank you in advance
Dielectric grease is not a conductor, as the guy in the video suggests. However, it's purpose is to help seal out moisture, so it's useful on the boot for that reason. I dont really know how good an insulator it its, but I try to keep it off the electrical contact points.
