Spark Plugs Change DIY 2008 Acura MDX 

First! 😉

I just want to say "thank you" because of "you" I have changed my own oil, transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, and differential fluid! You have saved me a lot of money! Your videos are always so nice & easy to follow! "Thank you" again! God Bless :)

This video was a great help. The rear three are not as easy as the front but it's very doable as long as you have the proper tools. I did my 2010 MDX in a little more than an hour with success and saved the $400 the dealership was trying to charge me

Great video, thanks for making this as easy as possible for those of us who view your work on line. Actually the rear spark plugs facing the engine fire wall were much easier to replace than those facing the radiator, as there was more clearance for the spark plug wrenches, etc. Made this a comfortable and straight forward repair, took about two hours in total. Thanks again.

Great video! I will tackle this task soon on my mdx.

Good job, bro! Been very helpful. Have 2010 rl , 2015 rdx and 2015 mdx. Thank you

Another great video, AA!! Your channel is the first place I head if I need to do something new to my X. Thank you!!

Love videos, brother. So helpful and inspiring. I adore mdxs And do much DIYs too.

Acura Addicted always has the best videos!! Thanks

Great help. Used this video to change my plugs last month! Now if I can just diagnose the clunking in my front when I hit small bumps!

My comments relate to my 2001 Acura MDX, I realized I did not specify the year of my Acura in my original comments. Thanks again

Very helpful. One of the back is give trouble. Counterclockwise. It gets tighter clockwise it gets tight. I think I'm going to leave it in. I don't want to risk. What do you think?. I'll have to retread the whole head.

thanks for the video I'm a new subscriber and have a 2016 Acura MDX thanks again!

Grew a pair after watching your vid and just changed the plugs. The rear bank was a bit of a bitch. Taking it to the dealer today to find out whats clunking in the front end. Sposibo comrade Bogdan. Two solid shots of Vodka to you!!

Love your videos!!!

First of all THANK YOU! Second can I use a different size ratchet? Ie. 1/2 rachet??

Thanks for the spark plug video, can't wait to give it a try. Any reason why you cant use the plastic, magnetic spark plug tool to unscrew/rescrew the spark plug in? if only 13lbs/ft torque, would assume you should work, shouldn't it?

Thanks again for this video. Just as helpful in 2018, as it is in 2020. Today I just replaced the spark plugs in our 2012 MDX. The front 3 were as easy as in this video, but the rear (1) far left and the far right (3) were very tough to get. The left has the A/C lines going into the firewall, making it hard to reach the spark plug, but after using some shorter extension I was able to get in there. The hardest was that far-right rear where the coolant line goes into the firewall. I removed the hose first, cleaned everything and then was able to remove everything. I have no idea how in the world you got in there without removing that hose? I just wish I watched this video first before ordering plugs. I have always done my own spark plug changes for my Accords and Civics, and those are so extremely easy, but the MDX is much more time-consuming but definitely worth doing it oneself. I just wish I looked at the parts number first. After viewing the NGK website I choose the LKR7DIX-11S Iridium IX Plugs. They have the same shell and specifications almost, except the LKR7DIX-11S only have longevity of 50K and have Nickel ground electrodes whereas the ILZKR7B-11S are 100K and are Platinum ground electrodes. I wish I would have purchased the LKR7DIX-11S for sure. The cost difference between Nickel and Platinum is $5.19 USD (31 USD more for 6), but darn well worth the extra money so one does not have to do this twice, haha... Always look at part numbers folks. ;)

Great! Do you have any fuel injector replacement video? And gasket replacement?

Hi, your instructional videos are wonderful. I do want to share that the NGK link for the US 6 pack of IZFR5K11 are not the same size as the original Denso that I just removed and compared. The threaded base on the new NGK is about 7-8mm shorter than the original factory Denso SXU22HCR11S that I just extracted. I didn’t look in my manual until now (my error) and the NGK part number is ILZKR7B11S for my 2011 MDX. Would this difference in number and size apply to 2010-2013?

Hi Bogdan, First, thank you for inspiring and detail videos! Second, could you correct the link to torque wrench for US amazon? It points to 30 to 150-foot pound torque wrench, which is outside of the required 13 ft/lb for this job. I ordered one without checking (this shows the level of my trust in you :)), and had to return it later. I just did an extra 1/3-1/2 a turn after tightening spark plugs manually (as probably most people do). Keep up the great job!

Do you have any idea if the process would be the same on a 2016 MDX. Great video, by the way.

Love all the Mdx videos you have out. Would like to see timing belt/water pump video

Thank you for your videos. They are really helpful. I have a question, my Acura MDX 08 was having transmission problem, I got that fixed. I haven't been driving it for a year now...I just got it back on the road again, but I noticed that when driving it, it is acting like as if someone is pressing on the break every 10 seconds. Can you please tell me what's probably wrong with it? Thank you!

any advice on the plug beneath the heater hose (near firewall on driver's side)? apparently you did it without disconnecting the hose?

Hey buddy! I subscribed to your channel! Nice video man! I’ll be making one soon! On my MDX.. what I was hoping to see was how difficult it was for you to reach the back ones? I’ll try to film the process as well!

You’re vids are awesome- America says so.

How do you count the ignition coil on 2011 Acura MDX I have number 4 is bad it causes the 4th cylinder misfire. I try to change it myself but I don’t know which one them is number 4 coil. Please help Thank you

I have 2008 Acura MDX US technology package and I need to replace the shocks. I believe that the car have active damper system. I do I change it without paying too much money for it. I saw your video on how to change. Any suggestions for me?

hey bogdan how do you remove the wiring harness on top of the valve covers its so difficult to work with that on

Which one is number 4? Is it the one in the front on the left? Do you have to disconnect the negative cable to the battery?

Thanks!

Okay, third question, why replace the engine cover and the radiator cover, I think you called it? Purely aesthetic, or are there any functional reasons for these components?

Is there a director's cut version of the video that shows you do the rear bank ?

So are the 3 in the back easy to get to? Cuz it don’t look like it to me!

Hi , I have a question if you could help me please and thank you. I recently cleaned my throttle body on 2009 mdx , thats how I did it , turned egnition on and some one pressed the gaspedal all the way then I sprayed throttle body cleaner on fiber cloth and cleaned it after cleaning the check engine light comes on and the rpm was jumping up and down while releasing the gaspedal so some one cleared the code and reset the tps by scanner but still the rpm are jumping up and down when I push the brake and also the rpm doesn't come down normally when I release the gaspedal. Also another problem, my car doesnt pick up speed fast from stop sign. Any advice please

Which way did you loosen the back ignition coil bolts? Do you turn the tool to the left or right.... I know the front ones we turn to the left but since they’re in the back is it the same process to loosen?

Yo Bagdan, why does one of your front ignition coils look brand new, and the other two look like they've been left in coffee for a week? I pulled my front 3 (trying to get a broken PCV valve out of the valve cover, an expensive nightmare...) and two looked brand new, the third to the right, facing towards the front of the engine, looked like Keith Richards was soaked in coffee for a week... why the difference?

Nice

Still check the GAP, even though they say pre-gapped make sure you check the gap I've had gaps that were way off on "Gap less" plugs.

Just out of curiosity, I noticed that no anti-sieze was applied to the spark plug threads. Is that normal?

Do you have to replace the coils at 100k miles when replacing the spark plugs the first time?

did you replace the 3 rear plugs?

Well done video. Subscribed and thanks!

I take it you don’t have enough room to remove the spark plug with the first extension ? Is this why you use a flex type extension instead?

Did you ever cleaning throttle bodies of MDX?

So NGK or Denso? They seem the same.

What do you mean by precoded spark plugs ?

Righty tighty lefty loosey. I like I'm in the twilight zone. Counterclockwise in the back as well. It's used no telling.

Bogdan, did you notice that spark plug in 2nd cylinder had much wider brown stripe on it's isolation? AFAIK, that might be caused by loose contact with ignition coil. It eventually may cause degraded performance or even outage of plug

FROM ALL THE VIDEOS I CHECKED, NONE OF THEM SHOWS YOU HOW TO REPLACE THE REAR ONES. I guess front are the easy ones.

Здравствуй, Богдан! ЛАЙК без вопросов, как и всегда 👌 👍 А на нашем языке будет 😀?!

Just buy a snap-on spark plug socket
