Spark Plugs Replace Toyota Prius C 2013 Tips do it quick do it right 🤓 

True, plus if you do one plug at a time there's no chance of hooking up the wrong wire to the wrong plug.

True put a rag sometimes accidents happens. It happened to me one time I was all stressed that day, thank you for.your comment

Hi Austin thank you for sharing that information, I suppose that the reason for this is that you do not want to put copaslip, first some people will put too much and can end up in the electrode, another reason is that people tend to overtighten it more, some manufactures already make the spark plugs with a plating that avoids corrosion, however as old school mechanic and for any old car or if you do not change your spark plugs regularly I will recommend putting a really small layer always help, so when you are going to remove them in a long time, they are not stuck thank you

It's very easy to over tighten the plugs when the threads are lubricated by anti-seize!

We are glad to hear that thank you for comment

Yes that is, however the car was misfiring a little bit, so I did the whole tune up and it was due by mileage, but thank you for your recommendation

@@quikdiy7134 Thank you very much for your kind reply dear QuikDIY. Please stay safe and healthy always!

@@quikdiy7134 I'm glad you mentioned misfiring. I have a 2014 Prius C, 3 with 88,250 miles. Today it trembled a bit upon starting, first time ever. I also feel like it feels (imagine if it was a manual car) like it cant shift from 3rd to 4th/5th. Any ideas? Thank you so much

I recently replaced mine at 100 000 miles, although they looked pretty much like new!

@@richardking6066 Same. I replaced mine at 130K just for safety and they all looked like they could last a bit longer. Just wanted to keep the engine happy for the remainder of what I wanted to keep the car i.e. until I junk it at 200k+ miles.

Thank you for the tips

Wiggle it with a lot of patience if is broken already this people sell all the connectors if you are in the usa. Www.godaca.com they are also in ebay and amazon the sku number for this connector is 01020101000639. We work with them godaca.com/1x-connector-4-way-4-pin-for-ignition-coil-90980-11885-w-out-wire/

only if it's a Prius.... Prius C is handy enough

@@tanchiawhau8986 Thanks

No necessary in this model :)

Hi I did not look at the torque specs sorry for not including, however I am pretty sure you can find that info online. Regarding putting copper grease is standard from an airplane to a car when you want to avoid rust and being stuck when you want to replace them again

I don't have the repair manual. The Toyota Owner's Manual does not mention a torque setting for spark plug. But Denso, the OEM, does, I found their table online. According to one user, these spark plugs are 14mm Flat Seat, so Torque needed is 15-22 lb-ft (20-30 Nm). Recommendation is to not grease the threads because with grease it will be easy to over-tighten and damage the threads in the Al block. If you do use grease, cut the torque setting by 50%, so this user used 11 lb-ft.

Nice question. But honestly I don't remember exactly which. One it was I would say it was about 8 inches plus the long spark plugs socket. Thank you for asking

Spark plugs are about $60 for 4. Unless you’re changing the ignition coils. That’s expensive. That’s not a bad deal if it’s coils and spark plugs . Coils are about $50 -$60 a coil.

Hello any long socket 5/8 will do the job, the difference beetwen a regular socket and a spark plug socket is that the spark plug socket has a rubber internally that create more friction around the spark plug to remove them completely from the engine once they are completely loosened avoiding falling from the socket by gravity, however if you font have a specific spark socket, use a regular socket and then grab with the same ignition coil rubber, thank you

@@quikdiy7134 Hi, thank you for quick reply! I'm looking to buy one but all I can find are magnetic spark plug sockets - are they good?

I dont have any personal experiencie i think it should be ok as long the magnet is strong enough, but like i said you can use a regular socket and after is loosened use the coil itself to grab the sparkplug 👍👍😜

Normally spark plug nowadays are preset specially those iridium, triple or double, but still can doble checked

The Prius manual recommends 120000 miles, but I would say as the car ages this will vary, because. Other components as oil leaks. Faulty oxygen sensors, etc. Might change this interval

@@quikdiy7134 thanks for the reply

@@quikdiy7134 should we change all four plugs at 120,000 miles
