How To Change Spark Plugs In 2003-2007 Honda Accord - Tune Up

I show how to replace the spark plugs in a Honda VTEC engine. This is my 2006 Honda Accord, and with 113,000 miles on it, it was due for some new plugs. I bought some new NGK Iridium plugs and made a video while I did the install.

👍 And please give my video a thumbs up 👍

Thanks for the vid...took my 07 Accord to the dealership because of a recall on the airbags. Once they had me in, of course they recommended all kinds of things that needed to be done with my car..one being new plugs...at a cost of something like $270. Needless to say I got my free airbags and took the car home and checked youtube...something they apparently have never heard of.

NGK says Not to use Anti Seize on their Plugs as it can lead to Over Torquing. They already have a Finish Applied during Manufacturing that prevents Seizing and Corrosion.

Thanks for the video. You've made this job look easier than I ever imagined it'd be. I'll be changing my plugs soon.

For future reference, NGK Iridium recommends (for an aluminum block such as this one) 18-21.6 ft.lb of torque on the spark plugs.

You are a great teacher, thank you for uploading this video :)) I'm changing out my spark plugs on my 2007 accord next week and this video makes it super easy and simple thank you again!

Good video and well done. I've been twisting wrenches on my own cars, trucks and motorcycles for near 50 years. If I've learned anything its that I don't know everything. Contrary to what others have questioned your torque spec is correct. People need to understand this is an aluminum engine. knowing and following manufacturers recommended torque specs is CRITICAL!! And to the one respondent who said he's never used a torque wrench nor felt it necessary?? Wait till the day you strip the plug threads in a $10, 000 motor. You have a chance of escaping disaster with a cast iron so with aluminum. Torque recommendations are backed by many years of knowledge and experience. I'll defer to that experience any day.

Great video. Just followed it step-by-step to replace the plugs on my daughters 2007 accord. Thank you.

Congratulations for your presentation, you make it so simple and easy to understand. Thanks RJ!

I liked the video, but I would like to add that NGK plates their spark plug threads with a trivalent plating. This is done so that the plugs can be put in dry and come undone later without any issues. NGK actually recommends you not put anti-seize on the threads as it can alter the torque value by up to 20%. I know a lot of people that still do use anti-seize, but at least for NGK it's not a necessity.

Hi RJ, I love your instructional videos! I teach English in Europe. While reading a text, a student once asked me the meaning of "go ahead". He should watch your videos. It is your favorite phrase. Go ahead + keep up the good work.

The Autolite XP series (Iridium) also work very well in this car - XP5224. I have something like 350K miles on them in multiple Odys and my Accord.

I just bought a torque wrench to do it myself, thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks for the video. My accord is about to turn 254K with the original plugs. Same gas mileage as when it came off the showroom floor and no emissions problems. I think you're replacing them prematurely.

Nice presentation! it's a simple task, but you kept it interesting. The old ones looked just dandy. Being Iridium and IVTEC I just inspect them, but to each his own.

[jayscul-de-sac]

Thanks for the video I was expecting since it was a “newer” modern engine this would be hard
Super easy because of the video. I appreciate your help thank you

[lilravergrl]

I like how real your video is, also your communication skills are excellent.

[nancyfrancois]

Thank you for teaching us .. I am Grateful for you teaching us, so I can be able to do for myself ..

[johnb]

Thanks alot my man. Your car looks super clean inside you brush the dust off frequently?

[mikelund]

Even scotty Kilmer advises NOT TO USE the anti seize on those platinum plugs. I also looked it up on YouTube and a few others advised NOT TO use it on the platinum plugs..

[mcdus]

I'm gonna install NGK Iridium spark plugs on my '06 Accord too.😋
