Honda CR-V Spark Plug Change 2.4L 4 cylinder

Replacing my 2014 Honda CR-V spark plugs in a 2.4L engine.

thats the cleanest engine bay ive ever seen on any vehicle especially a honda crv

[@starastronomer]

Thank you 😎

[@dang7368]

Very well done. I wish all auto videos were this detailed, methodical, and well shot.

[@starastronomer]

MUCH appreciated Dan G !!!

It's bonkers that my local dealing is quoting me $350 for this service. I bought the parts and some extra tools for like $50. I noticed you didn't use dielectric grease, but I think I will be using it when I do my change. Another youtube video shows that they do use it.

[@bosco3115]

Thanks for the detailed video! It helped a lot with my first spark plug change and I saved a pretty penny as well!

[@starastronomer]

Bosco311 Thank You. So glad it helped!

[@c3daldadband368]

Fantastic instructional video. I’m going to try this. Thanks you!

[@starastronomer]

C3DalDad Band You're welcome!

[@orangenblk]

I can eat off that engine! Great detailing. Great video.

[@starastronomer]

@orangenblk Thank you very much!

[@sahmed321]

Very helpful, I would have never guessed that the spark plugs are under that black cover.

[@starastronomer]

So glad it helped Syed!

Bought a 5/8" socket per your reference (4:35) only to find out as I am trying to remove my plugs, that the 2017 CRV 2.4L takes a 14mm socket. I went to OReilly auto and they had a 14mm magnetic spark plug socket, then all went per your video. Sometime between 2014 (your CRV) and 2017 they must have made this change.

[@starastronomer]

Glad it went well after you got the 14mm socket Kim.

Good video, wind, noise throughout extremely distracting and annoying

[@marktlumacki7963]

Well done, great instructions thank you

[@starastronomer]

You're welcome!!!

[@raynebutler1564]

I am a newbie at this. First, great video, glad you mentioned about the gap setting finally too. So my question is, do I need to disconnect the battery while doing this too? Thanks again!

[@starastronomer]

You're very welcome Rayne! No, you do not need to disconnect the battery. I take out the key so no one can accidentally turn on the key. ALWAYS do that when changing oil 🛢 so the engine doesn't start with a dry engine.

[@leonardfedillaga]

Your tutorial is so detaild my friend 🤝👍👍

[@starastronomer]

leonard THANK YOU! Glad it was of help.

[@hasanselcuk8393]

Thank you very much you have helped me a lot 🙏🙏

[@starastronomer]

You are very welcome. Glad I was able to help you.

[@Subscribers4]

Hey there!!! Thank for the tutorial! It was great and now I feel ready to change my spark plugs! But I have a question, I have a crv but it’s 2008. Do you recommend I use dielectric grease for those since the car is older or does that not really matter? I’m going to put in laser iridiums. Thank you!

[@starastronomer]

Thanks, glad it helped. I have never used dielectric grease on vehicle spark plugs. I always change them around 40,000 miles or so. Never had any issues in all my years.

[@richardmorse8408]

Excellent explanation! Thank you!

[@starastronomer]

I appreciate that Richard Morse. Thanks.

[@terrysentell1541]

I never heard a mention of Gap

[@jameslund9811]

You should be using Ngk plugs.

[@starastronomer]

James Lund "Denso" is the original (stock) plugs that came with my CR-V. No reason I would go with NGK plugs although I do use them in other equipment.

[@MiguelMartinez-uu6po]

@@starastronomer you’re right my friend

[@starastronomer]

Miguel Martinez THANKS, never pays to second guess the engineers.

[@jacksongil9123]

How much are the spark plug?

[@chichihlin454]

Nice video, thank you

[@starastronomer]

You're welcome chichih Lin, thanks!

[@nelzonmar]

How often should I replace the spark plugs ?

[@starastronomer]

Nelson Antonio I see no reason to keep plugs in a car long especially when they are easy to change. About every 50,000 and they look great so far. But that's just what I prefer to do.

[@STSwhisperer]

Nice video. Thanks.

[@starastronomer]

Thank You Steve Hendricks!

[@nickv4073]

That was way to early to change plugs. Waste of money. I changed my CRV's plugs at 120,000 miles and they were STILL good to go.

[@starastronomer]

😳😝👀

[@Ricardo-qv9jn]

Is the Gap the same as the honda Accord 2.4, the reason i'm saying this because the mechanic put a crv engine on My car

[@starastronomer]

I would verify with the dealer.

[@Ricardo-qv9jn]

@@starastronomer ok thanks you

[@yeetlordmcswaggins7104]

Spark plugs come pregapped. Just ask for the ones in the motor

[@jameslund9811]

It’s.040 gap

[@moregrouchy]

@@yeetlordmcswaggins7104 It's a very good idea to check the gap anyway, as it is often close but not accurate on these pre- gapped plugs.

[@rickscott5290]

Did you use dielectric grease?

[@starastronomer]

John Williams No, I saw no need to. I change them about every 40,000 miles and they are not "exposed" like plugs on the outside of the engine. These are on top and enclosed. No issues after two changes.

[@robertshaw40]

great descriptive videeo

[@starastronomer]

THANK YOU Robert shaw! Glad it helped.
