After the Toyota dealership quoted me $580.00 😱 to change the spark plugs on my 2016 Toyota Tundra, i decided to do it myself for $66.06.

Correction this is a 2nd gen tundra. The 3rd gen has a twin turbo v6 engine as well as a hybrid system. Thank you for making a very helpful video.
@bdawg251322 күн бұрын
I'd call it a 2.5 Gen. Same engine but lots of cosmetic changes. Visually looks different.

Great video!! My 5.7 is at 97K and I will change the plugs within the next 5K. The maintenance interval is 120K miles for those wondering. Personally I stick with OEM plugs. While rare, I have pissed off engines by using aftermarket plugs.
@Aaron-ck5gk4 жыл бұрын
I did mine at 120K and besides being a little seized up they looked pretty good. They say the new plugs don’t need anti seize, but after feeling the factory ones come out 6 years and 120K later, there’s no way I’d put new plugs back in without it. Good call to swap them out at 100K.
@esteemedenergy3 жыл бұрын
All plugs are aftermarket. And Tundras can come with TWO different plugs on the same exact engine, on different banks.

240,000 miles on my 2007 Tundra. Original plugs. I haven’t felt any loss in performance and gas mileage is as good as its ever been. Maybe I’m crazy but I’ve had my mechanic pull and check them twice now and he says they look good.
@kross12614 жыл бұрын
I’m definitely no expert on that but my mechanic has pulled them twice and said they’re fine. He’s been in business close to 30 years. I’ve also read that until you notice a loss in power or mileage your ok. I took my daughter on a trip this summer mostly interstate and hwy miles 65-75 mph. Averaged 19.2 mpg. Which for a Tundra is pretty good.
@Tigerfan-qx2xq4 жыл бұрын
I wanna touch on this, I just recently bought a 07 tundra and the fuel mileage is literally 9.5 MPG. I have replaced the engine air filter, cleaned the throttle body, and cleaned the MAF sensor. I'm still getting very bad gas mileage. I am replacing coil packs and spark plugs tomorrow. Is there anything else this could be? My next guess would be a issue with the fuel pump. There arent any symptoms of a fuel pump problem at the moment though.
@kross12614 жыл бұрын
Tigerfan6317 ! Wow that is bad. Do you have large oversized tires? Are your plugs the right setup if they’ve been replaced?My last time I kept track I got between 14-15 mpg but that was fairly cold winter weather. I’ve gotten around 20 open road summer driving at times. Only time I’ve ever got mileage like yours is when I’m pulling my boat.

About to do this to my 2011 4.6L tundra. Truck has 177k and running on original plugs. Truck seems to gasp for air when I try to start it when it's 25 or below. Once I start it and turn it off it'll start up normally. So, I'm assuming I need new plugs.

My 07 tundra let's out a half second screech when I start it sometimes it almost starts then doesn't.then it starts with the next turn of the key. I changed the belt but it still does it at least once a day. A mechanic friend said sounds like it needs new plugs. Would bad plugs make it screech?
