How To Change Spark Plugs in a 2010-2017 Chevy Equinox 2.4L Ecotec / GMC Terrain ACDelco 41-408

[@GeorgeDavisIII-t5t]

Excellent video, shows all the steps with important valuable extra tips. Only thing I could add is torq for coil bolts 8# and plugs13#. From a fellow mechanic twisting wrenches since 1966, my high praise, well done!

[@troybrooks2066]

Such a great video! Got this novice through the job and saved me a shit load of money. Thank you sir! After 2 years, you’ve probably saved people many thousands of dollars in labor costs.

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

Thank you! Appreciate it! Trust me I've saved a ton of $$$ as well watching other people's videos, so figured I'd share what I can as well.

You helped me out a lot bro .thanks keep up the good work.

Is the spark plug socket different than a regular socket?

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

A spark plug socket has a rubber grommet inside that holds the spark plug when installing or taking out so it doesn't fall out.

[@Mr.Flipster]

do u have to change the ignition coil same time have about 100,000 miles

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

I'm sure they have a "suggested" replacement time period, but I've found that a coil is either good or is bad. As soon as a coil misfires, etc, then you'll get a code right away and then replace it.

Thank you for your video, it helped me a lot, greetings from Mexico

[@Domjulio1987]

Thanks for the video man! No need for torque wrench on the new spark plugs?

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

Everything has a torque spec. Spark plugs are generally around 15-18ft-lbs and I just do it by "feel" as I've done so many of them.

[@Domjulio1987]

@@BuildItWheelItExploreIt that's good to know. I was gonna spend another $25 😆

[@saun86]

Could a beginner do the same method or should i get a torque wrench?​@BuildItWheelItExploreIt

[@Grief0032]

I didnt undue the tabs . Does it matter? Was still able to.change spark plugs. Great video!!! Thanks

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

Thanks! What tabs? Can't remember off the top of my head.

[@Grief0032]

At the 3 minute mark​@@BuildItWheelItExploreIt

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

@Grief0032 if you didn't have to press those tabs, that's weird! The tabs hold the connectors securely in place, or they could come off and have no connection.

What spark plugs is the best for chevy equinox

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

These exact AC DELCO plugs that I used in this install.

[@barbspaulding3961]

Have you had trouble with the 2.4 engine burning oil and if so what are some ways to correct it?

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

It does seem to burn some, and it is a known issue. I change my oil early, always at 25% left on the computer.

[@donnabrunet6634]

I've only got one rubber grommet. Is that a problem?

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

For the plastic cover? If so, it really shouldn't be an issue.

[@gonzophoenixaz7853]

What’s that tube in front of the spark plugs and goes down behind the oil cap…. I broke the plastic tubing it was so brittle but anyway I need a new one AutoZone don’t know what it is or oriellys any info would be great thank you

[@BuildItWheelItExploreIt]

Sorry, I didn't see your comment until now. I'm assuming it's some type of EVAP hose. I doubt any local auto parts store will have that part. I know there is a gm parts website that you should be able to get that item from or from a local junk yard etc.

[@bradleygt302none7]

Now that its back to peak power whens 40s and tons going in...man
