2007 Mazda 6 Spark Plug Change Out

We demonstrate in full 1080p HD how to change out spark plugs on a 2007 Mazda 6 vehicle. I mentioned that the years cover 07-09 but i was mistaken, my apologies. After looking it up it appears that the the change of the spark plugs covers the 2005 to the early 2008 models. Nevertheless it is the same concept on almost every gas vehicle.

Appreciate the vid guys, I was looking up 2006 (my Mazda year) on other vids but what's underneath the engine cover looked totally different until you guys showed the 2007. You just saved me a shit load of time. Much thanks.

thank you for this video. called my local mazda they wanted $5+/spark plug and $200+ for labor. He stated it took 2.5 hrs because it was at the back of the engine. Such BS. My friend showed me how to do it and I watched your video to make sure I had it down. This does not take 2.5 hrs.

Thank you very much for the info! I had gotten REALLY nervous when I saw the oil on the plugs. A valve cover gasket doesn't sound too bad though. I think I can probably handle that. Thanks again for the info and the very helpful video!

I love how you over simplified everything. Cracked me up. :D Good tutorial!

[@ListlessSpectre]

lubricate the inner sleeve of the socket with very thin coat of silicone lube and you'll always keep your socket on the ratchet. I've been there.

This is also the same engine as a 2006 and 2007 ford fusion helped a lot thank you!

In 2006 i believe the 2.3 liter was fitted with "coil packs" (what the guy on the tutorial refers to the head), basically if you have pre 2006 Mazda 6 2.3 liter you will have spark plugs and not coil packs. So this video is just how to replace the spark plugs. so everyone with a 2.3 liter mazda 6 is good to go.

Keep these up, I have a 06 and it's identical, so, very helpful

[@bperez210]

what type of spark plugs did you use? great video short and to the point!

[@CIVICMAN2784]

NGK Iridium Spark plugs were used to replace stock spark plugs.

[@CIVICMAN2784]

@brian5o -- if you have oil in your plugs most likely you need to replace the valve cover gasket with the spark plug rings gaskets. The kit can run from 12 $ to 40 $ last I checked. But no you should not have oil in your plugs at anytime. Your spark plugs should always be free of liquids and debris. Hope this helps. BTW be sure to get the valve cover gasket kit not the head gasket kit which is something totally different and about 80$ more . Good luck !

@scorpio13000 we did not have to measure the gaps. When you go to your parts store ask for pre gapped spark plugs.

[@ollytamale10]

'preciate the demo. though I wish you would have shown us the specs on gaping and lubing the spark plug. i'm never really sure what the proper gaping is for a new spark plug

[@brian5o]

Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful in changing the plugs for my 2.3L Ford Fusion. I have a question. Did you happen to notice any oil on any of the plugs on your car? When I changed mine, the only plug not covered in oil was the 1st one on the passenger side. The two center ones were especially covered. The car seems to run fine. Is this a normal occurrence with ohc engines?

Good info, nice camera. Thx.

[@damsz3806]

Thank you i can change my spark plug on my mazda 6 phase 2

[@buchajo]

Thanks for the video. I have a '08 Mazda6 (2.3) with about 85,000 miles on it. Wondering what the signs of needing new spark plugs are? Thinking I should probably do this within the next year on my 6....?

[@CIVICMAN2784]

Usually if miles per tank of gas is diminishing . If you feel the car sputter while on the freeway or hesitate with a sputter at take off . These are some signs you might need new spark plugs .

[@boeingfever]

Do you have the 3.0? Because that would required pulling the intake manifold (which would be ~2.5 hours by the book.) Just curious. :)

[@tailz1208]

Thanx guys gr8 work

[@willc8532]

dumb question, but is there one spark plug only? or each of those heads have a spark plug underneath, so a total of 4? thanks again guys

[@CIVICMAN2784]

4 plugs total

[@unsatisfiedcostumerathensn7789]

Great video, was the engine warm or cold when you changed the spark plugs?

[@tatiivera89]

what tool I can use to remove the white screws .. that you mentioned not to forget

[@TheNohar123]

I have a 2005 madza 6 . Is the motor the same as the one on this car?

[@sbqb03]

How do you change the wire great video tho!!!!

[@rickmcdaniel9052]

i have a mazda 6 2007 and when i take off i have a little hesitation ,, is this how your car is also ?????

[@thecarelessmind]

Thankyou !!!

[@Scorpio13000]

did you have to measure the gap before putting new plugs in?

[@Bismuth22]

3/8 drive is what you are using

[@CIVICMAN2784]

It should be the same motor on the 2005 . 2.3 L
