Called the dealer in California today and they are charging $400+tax to install 4 new NGK plugs into my 2018 CRV. Ordered them directly from NGK for $14 each and will install using your video. Saved me $350 dollars. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Depends on the plug. Ngk comes coated with a special alloy that doesn't need antiseize. I think the instructions explicitly say to not add it either. I agree with adding die electric grease to the coil pack tho

@603 Mechanic vids - Thanks for the video, but you left out a tid-bit of useful into. The NGK Iridium plugs come from the factory pre-gapped at .030 (+\-), but the gap for that Honda CRV engine is .043. Now, two (very important!) things to be aware of, 1. when gapping Iridium plugs, the tiny electrode is VERY fragile and brittle, like glass! Put no pressure on the iridium electrode or you will toast a $18 plug. 2. DO NOT BUY THESE PLUGS ON AMAZON!!! You have about a 90% chance of getting counterfeit iridium plugs! No kidding! It's pathetic but true, per NGK America. Google (or youtube) counterfeit iridium spark plugs. Easy to tell the counterfeit from the real if you know what to look for, but impossible if you don't.

This is very important information, will go buy a guage and check the gap today. Now I did purchase spark plugs from Amazon for $66 and I found out that they were selling fakes, I got so nervous I returned them and bought a pack from AutoZone for $80. But they look identical. SMH 😨

in most cases your engine will start to run rough at idle, engine struggles to start, misfires, bad fuel economy as well. you will get a code if your getting misfires. good make spark plugs usually last anywhere from 40 - 60k, they do make ones that last to 100k as well. sounds like you may need to change yours

Nicely done. I would like to know how often they need replacing. Or did you notice a performance lags? I had multiple 4 Cylinder Honda engine on different vehicle. One key note is that if one spark plug or cylinder is having an issue, such dirty gas building up deposits on spark plugs. You will notice a significant power lag or jurking from the engine at times of increased power. It would be very helpful to know why you are replacing the spark plugs.
