Thank you for this. I've been using antisieze on my ngk spark plugs for the past 5 years

​@@stupidandboot4507yeah if you look into the topic, the extra added anti seize can actually damage the plug itself.

Honestly for $270 i would recommend to go ahead with the plugs. Each plug already costs you 25-30 in store. Having to buy all the extra equipments and most importantly, risk breaking the plug in half while removing or debris falls into cylinders. Totally not a d.i.y job for beginners.

On god dealership dead wrong for they labor

Oh this sounds familiar 🤔 we also took our 05 Honda accord ex into the dealer because we received Notice in the mail that they issued a Recall on the Airbags also. I was busy that day so my wife took it into the Honda dealership shop, She said after they were done they began telling her that our Honda was in need of some repairs and that they would be more than willing to work with us on a Great price... My wife knows better than to just assume the word of a stranger, She learned the hard way some years back with our Honda Oddesy Van, She too it in for an oil change and when they were done they recommended to have multiple Fluids flushed and refilled, new filters and wiper blades and some other stuff, she just agreed to the repairs they recommended and diddnt think twice about it. She did not Notify me prior to the services bieing performed. Over & 600 and 3 hours my wife got the keys to the van back and head3d home. Half way home the check engine light came on and things only got worse from there.. But anyways back to the dealership store. My wife told the mechanic or sales guy if he could print out a Recipe of all the recommended services they say needs to be donenand she would sleep on the idea. He gave her a print out and my wofe left the shop. As my wife pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road she turned her Ac on in the car and it blew only hot air... My wife Immediately Pulled the car over and called me, I told her to Relax first of all because she was freaking out, But I told her you need to go straight back to them and ask what they touched when they changed the air bags. So she turned around and went straight back. She asked the guy at the front what they did to our car? He Claims they they did Nothing out of the ordinary and that They never went near anything for the ac unit. He also Made the statement that his Mechanics NEVER EVEN OPENED our Hood, So they couldn't be responsible for our ac unit blowing Hot air. My wife had me on the phone still so I could hear everything he was saying to her. I told her to just go ahead and bring the car home and I will look at when I got home later. I also told her when got back in the car that I found Exstremly Funny that the guy Mentioned that they Never even popped our hood and that they were Never inside of our hood where the engine is at and our ac system is located, Soooooo.... HOW did these Mechanics Get the Bright IDEA that our vehicle Needed All these services if they never popped our Hood?? Lmao.. it's just some dirty tricks to do to alot of people unfortunately. But Not all Mechanics are Liars and there is a good amount of Honest ones out there, But when the Bosses or the company is On your back and gives you the choice to iether may more money by any means including lieing to the customers or find another Job... it puts them in a Very difficult position. Have a great day. Tim.

Dont use anti seize

Mostly in my older videos I think.

Mabey his was inch pounds . I made that mistake before 😲Glad I didn’t mess things up

@@heyoldman2003 yea but what he said is equivalent to 13 ftlb

And no anti seize

Why no anti-seize? Please explain.@@donniev8181

I use anti seize just incase only a little bit

Wayne Bowyer You sound like you know your shit! I have a nice torque wrench, but what about the extension and deep socket? Will my wrench be accurate? Doing this same job in a few days!

And that's why NGK recommend not to use anti-sieze. It can change the torque figure by up to 20%

@@MattBlack6 it comes threaded ready to go from the manufacturer.

Jesse Crandle so for NGK spark plugs you don't use anti-seize on the spark plugs then?

@@alancarrillo156 That is correct. They are coated from the factory and other manufactures do this as well. It's nothing you can visibly see like you would with grease. The plugs should be set to 13 pounds of torque.

@@greenpea9412 question dude, so did this guys torque his correct he said some like 156 inch pounds?? U replied as 13 pounds? Can u just explain and do u have to use a torque wrench? I have a Honda 2004 accord , and I thought they came gauged already?

@@greenpea9412 SHIT that's my fault dude, I think he was converting 156 inches to 13 foot pounds. If I'm not mistaking. Thanks

The 156 he mentioned was in newton meters. That's the equivilant to 11.5 foot pounds of torque. The Honda spec is 13 pounds of torque or you could say 176 newton meters. It's simply the conversion from "foot pounds" to "newton meters". Honestly I always use what the manufacture suggest and in this case it's 13 pounds of torque. @@all4onejerzy94

Spark plugs are supposed to be replaced every 100,000 miles.

Calbenmike Understood, but I think that's premature. Check them every 100K sure. I know of people that have driven 600K on the original set of plugs. A lot of these car maintenance recommendations are scams, IMO. My Accord now has 285K now. Still the same plugs.

Seriously, 100K is more than enough expect from a set of plugs. Just replace them already.

RJ The Bike Guy Why replace something that's perfectly functional?

@@z28kindaguy spark plugs wear out on lawn mowers and atvs so im sure they do on cars ... Replace them asap

Just saw these on autozone need some for my 2007Honda Accord do I have to change anything with these or are they perfect just how they are

@@ericko8789 They are perfect the way they are, they come pregapped.

@@christopherhaak9824 thanks for the reply

Ouch!

True, the NGK threads come nickel plated, but a small amount of antiseize is OK (less than he used here). It doesn't hurt anything if you use a small -repeat, small amount.

Go to NGK's site and look up which one they recommend for your car.

Mikey Mattioni What is the reason? The spark plugs I took out today were so rusted from the thread, so lucky they came out in one piece without damaging the threads.

@@aldocraycray Idk all I can say is that I've done some research and came to the conclusion that it's not worth using

@@mikelund57 Well I'll keep you updated if I get any problems with anti-seize on the spark plug thread (which I doubt). People will always find a way to blame stuff

@@aldocraycray NGK Says Not to Use Anti Seize on their Plugs because they add a Finish to the Threads during Manufacturing that prevents Seizing and Corrosion. They also say using Anti Seize can lead to Over Torquing because it is a Lubricant and changes the Tolerances of the Threads.

Yup, most plugs come already with a anti seize coating on them already.

haha, you're illiterate ;)

Those NGK Iridium are OEM plugs that come stock with the car.

I know in my 06 2.4L, one tank will roughly get me about the milage you described and if i really stretch it out (as in deep with the red line on the fuel gauge) i can get just over 300 miles per tank. P.S. My 06 Accord is at 140,000 miles, just for comparison.

have you tried a different oil company? I get more miles from costco gas 87 octane. Are driving below 2k rpm? Get NEW Tires that also get more mileage.

Jason Chan I have new tires and I drive a lot of short trips which consist mostly of driving in the city. I use regular unleaded gas (there's no need for me to use anything higher as there isn't really any benefit since i don't have a performance car). As for my driving habits, I tend to have a lead foot which I know definitely decreases my MPG, but I've accepted that.

.

+SlickFootTito Up to you. I like to use it. Notice that a couple of the old NGK plugs were pretty rough when I pulled them out.

+RJ The Bike Guy So Honda probably didnt use anti seize on the plugs from the factory. With those tougher plugs to get it out, any concern of breaking them?

Hopefully not.

Rey Zerna Mark them 1,2,3,4, keep them in a row, do one at a time!

***** Since there are no spark plug wires going to a distributor to deal with, you really don't need to know the firing order to do this.

Thanks!

Everything wears out eventually, but you'll know if the coils are bad, engine won't run well.

Laser Iridium come pre gapped

Only if they bad but usually just spark plugs if anything going well just put a scanner on and it will let you know what coil it's not working

0.044 = Federal Emissions 0.052 = California Emissions

WAY too much money for a 2007. WAY too much. They are great cars though. I've had five of them.

d jones I know this is really late but you don't need a torque wrench to tighten these up, just get a good feel of it and just don't overdo it.

Rumer1 never too late bro .. I'm kinda a newbie to the car repairs but with my confidence and learning hands on attitude I'm fixing up my 2003 accord ex ... from left axle seal ,right axle , front rotor ,caliber and pads and eight wheel bearing .. now back to the question i had lol did u tighten up yours by hand . And if so did u have any problems afterwards?

i like to change them every other tune up.

100,000 miles....Iridium plugs last a LONG time.

+Michael Murphy I am guessing it will be similar if not the same.

+RJ The Bike Guy thank you I'll so mine in the morning God bless you

Hey Matt, next time use a breaker bar for the stuck spark plugs, works every time.

metrixalix did it ? Lol If u remember cuz I'm doing mines this week ??

You need metric sockets for the nuts and bolts on the cover. An inexpensive 3/8 inch drive socket set goes for about $10. You need a spark plug socket that fits your plug. For the Honda engine in the video, that's a 5/8 ths hex with a 3/8f drive. (Assuming you're using a 3/8 ths drive ratchet. You need a torque wrench, and I discovered my local auto parts store has loaners -- expensive torque wrench that is free if you return it within the specified time. That loaner torque wrench has a 1/2 inch drive, so I had to buy a 1/5 inch female to 3/8 ths drive, since I already had the spark plug socket. The little compressed air cans you use on your computer are helpful if you don't have shop air. Blow out contaminants around the site before you begin, after you expose the plugs, and again after the old plug is removed.

Maybe. Not sure. Try it.

@@RJTheBikeGuy how long was you're in the video mate?

Motor City Man or use a GAP gauge and set it yourself because thats all the part store did to mine.

A-State Lawn Service yeah the gauges are only like 2 bucks

It would have been much cheaper for you to do them yourself if you have the tools and the confidence that you can do this right. If you are uncertain/afraid of messing something up, I would take it to a shop that knows what they are doing.

But to clean them or inspect them more thoroughly, you need to take them all out

Hell yes.

Maybe Honda parts dept at your local Honda Dealer?
