As you will see, I successfully replaced the 6 spark plugs, one handed (while holding the camera) so that should give you the confidence to feel you can do it too, because you’ll have both hands involved 😉
This particular job was performed on a 2011 Honda Crosstour.

Can’t believe this video is from 4 years ago but I am so thankful for you, I’m a 22 year old country girl with no connections, with this video I changed my own spark plugs in my 08 Accord coupe V6 and got all 6 from auto zone for $58, I thank you so much my Honda Cat is back on the road 🥳🥳🥳

In the process of changing my plugs and coils on my 2012 honda pilot with 180000 miles. We bought the vehicle with 25000 miles on it. Actually plugs look decent but wife said the pilot had been taking longer than usual to start first thing in the morning.

Thank you for the cool comment 💪 You may want to also replace the battery if more than 2 years old. Or check to make sure there is no corrosion on the contacts and terminals. I was able to make Walmart battery last well beyond the warranty and its still going strong by keeping the contacts clean ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bq_sBzgM-kM.html

Great video, tremendously helpful in getting me through it this afternoon! Thanks a million!! BTW, fwiw, I read my owners manual. My 2013 Honda Accord V6 owners manual recommends 30K intervals . . . 30k . . . 60k . . .90k . . .120k for changing the plugs. I heard dozens of people saying 100K, but my engine check light came on, steady burn, engine stumbled, had no power at 50k. NGK says don't adjust their gaps, but again, Honda Engineers respectfully called for 12 mm, .0440, and the pregapped plugs were .0350. I adjusted to the Holy Book of Honda, The Owners Manual. She runs like a champ!!! Awesome!! Like new. Again, fantastic confidence builder, love your easy going talking narrative. The shop quoted me over $400. All in my pocket still.

@xelawash
@xelawash 2 года назад
@@pepmaster2004 good questions! Yes..it’s sort of typical to see a bit of black on the plug tips on the J series, but be careful that it’s not an indication of oil leaking into the canisters. The gaskets for each spark plug tube do wear and will allow some oil to leak inside the canister and burn. Seeing the black tips on plug number one is very common on these engines and usually replacing that particular plug every 30-50k will keep your engine running smooth, at least. Sometimes there’s a bigger problem, but from what I’ve experienced, just changing out the plugs works well. Also, you can move the coil packs around from bank to bank without problems. That’s ok to do as well 👍
