Thank you for the detailed instructions and all the helpful advice! DIYers rely on kind people like you!

[@NameItBuildIt]

You are very welcome! Positive thoughts and comments keep motivated to keep it up! Thank you so much for that 😎

[@StormsNSunhine]

Bro great job explaining n straightforward details. Love it, appreciate it!

[@NameItBuildIt]

Thank you, I’m glad it helped! Appreciate it! 😎

[@zachhernandez8206]

Great job man I know you probably know this but if anyone ever has any issues removing then because they are too tight and do not want to strip them( it's happen to me before) drive the car around to get the engine at operating temp than remove them as the heat expansion helps with removing them. Of course use caution as the engine will be very hot but it saves more than to have to re thread the heads cause it happened to me once haha

[@napynap]

Wow, so much easier than my Prius! (RIP). Just got a Rav4, wanted to do some recon about the plugs. I've been changing plugs for years, but now I want to get that locking extension to avoid disaster. Thanks for the video!

[@NameItBuildIt]

One of the best tools I own! Good luck with the RAV4, they are amazing machines 😎

[@yousifahmed7957]

I changed . Its good spark plug . Quite and quick plus good fuel economy. Thank you so much. My rav4 2016 4wd

[@NameItBuildIt]

Great to hear! I love these 😎

[@James-jx3ro]

Dude, you helped greatly! I bought the same plugs and my RAV now thinks it's a sports car! As you know, there's eco, reg n sport drive. The reg feels like sport! Holy shit! It may be too soon to tell but before when I would pump my music and the spare tire bass would set off 3 of my dash lights and they haven't come on since the change? Still keeping my fingers crossed for that one! But the car is alive like I've never experienced w her! Thanks again!

[@NameItBuildIt]

These are hands down the best plugs I’ve ever used! Glad they worked well for you

[@venisani8871]

You do everything very careful and clean and I like that. The only thing you are forgetting is a little grease on the Spark plugs.

[@NameItBuildIt]

I never put grease on the plugs. It changes the torque spec which makes them easier to tighten with same effort. They can then snap off in block. The next someone tells you to use grease, correct them 😎

[@khoato3707]

Great video, I personally use Amsoil signature series motor oil to get the maximum life out of my Rav 4.

[@NameItBuildIt]

Amsoil is great oil too! I had a family friend that would not use anything else on his corvettes 😎

[@gunslinger713]

Haven't had a single issue with my RAV4 in 6 years. Going to do it's first time up lol

[@NameItBuildIt]

I know, They’re that good! Air filter, oil change & filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, clean MAF sensor, clean throttle body, brake fluid, tire rotation, change trans fluid and both diffs and you’re good to go 😎

[@mikeford9176]

Excellent, thanks just did this on my 2018 Rav 4. Too bad brakes aren’t this easy

[@NameItBuildIt]

Glad to hear this helped! I do the brakes every year on my rav, EBC rotors and pads. Not too bad. They are incredible 😎

[@EHou01]

Just paid $1000 for four brakes and 4 rotors. Next time, I'll do the brakes and front rotors. Not sure I can do the rear rotors.

[@Quentyn73]

I didn't hear you say, but I am just going to put it out there - always do that on a COLD engine.

[@NameItBuildIt]

Very good point! I should have mentioned that. However, do you think when anyone goes to a dealership they wait an hour or 2 after the customer arrives to do this? No, and the reason you should is because when an engine is warm you actually tighten the plug more with the same amount of force because the metal is hot and shrinks. When it cools and expands you now have a plug that can Be over tightened and snap off in the engine when you go to pull it out. (Looking at you Triton V8s) Thanks for the comment!

[@tylermays3721]

I change my oil every 5,000 on my 2014 fwd(120k miles). What would you recommend me to start doing to get the most miles out of the car? And when should I get my transmission fluid checked?

[@NameItBuildIt]

Excellent! you should change your transmission fluid every 60K or when it says on the instruction manual, so it’s long overdue. At this point, I would take it to a mechanic and see what the condition of it is or check it yourself. If it’s black, just change the filter not the fluid. if it’s still red, you can change some of the fluid, and change the rest a little bit at a time. As for the rest of the car, I do spark plugs, coolant flush, diff fluid change and PCV valve every 60K. You should rotate the tires every oil change, timing belt every 90K, brake fluid flush every 2 years, air filter and cabin air filter every10K or when their really dirty sooner, and front end alignment when it’s off or every 100K. That about covers it 😎

[@leonlondono4372]

great video, question ?; Is it necessary to put a scanner after changing the spark plugs? I mean, can it give a code error? thank you very much for your videos.

[@NameItBuildIt]

No need. it will not throw any codes. 😎

Links are in the description. 😎

[@marke8358]

Will those Spark Plugs fit a RAV4 2017 XLE Hybrid? I'm seeing a different part number 9603 from the store but the one in the video is 9609? Thanks in advance

[@NameItBuildIt]

You have to call them to check, but I would take one out and use that part number to cross reference 😎

[@chrisputnam8795]

i tape the plug wrench Someday i dream of a locking extension!

[@NameItBuildIt]

As long as it works! Little bit of tape inside the socket works really well! 😎

[@Anon78788]

Is that a red top optima battery on your rav 4? I am thinking of getting one did you have to make any modifications to make it fit in the battery bay?

[@NameItBuildIt]

No it’s an Odyssey. These are much better than Optima. It fit with no problems, just needs an adapter from Odyssey 😎

[@Anon78788]

@@NameItBuildIt Thanks! I have a 2013 Rav 4 can you provide the model of the battery and the model for the adapter?

[@braticuss]

Nice, thank you. Do you use anti-seize?

[@NameItBuildIt]

No I don’t, and have never had a problem. 😎

[@robertrourke7320]

Isn't the interval for spark plugs on a rav4 196,000km? Benefits for dping it early?

[@NameItBuildIt]

Same as anything else, new plugs work better. More power, better mileage and cleaner engine. The longer you wait to change oil, filters or equipment, the dirtier and less efficient it becomes. 😎

[@Jeffco2]

I've got a torque wrench. Do you know what is the recommended torque pressure required to tighten the plugs??? TIA

[@NameItBuildIt]

I do not. but I’ve never had a problem in my life with them. it’s something mechanics feel over time 😎

[@MikeRepluk]

Great video! What about changing the transmission oil every 50,000?

[@NameItBuildIt]

I would go by what the manufacturer asks per vehicle 😎

[@MikeRepluk]

@@NameItBuildIt Toyota rav4 says no need to change for the life of the transmission

[@jamesweber4938]

@@MikeRepluk Depends how long you want the life of the transmission to be. My Toyota dealer recommends every 150,000 kms. Not a flush, just an oil change

[@Mareyes2525]

Do you have to change it every 7 years even if you don't reach the mileage mark? Only at 55k KM but its been 7 years.

[@NameItBuildIt]

Not necessarily 7, 5 years as 15K per year after 5 years of would be 75K. You should also change oil every year even if you don’t reach 3K miles. Brake fluid very 2 years. 😎

[@BabyGangsterIsMe]

do you have to disconnect the battery before you do it???

[@NameItBuildIt]

No, the only way spark plugs have power is when the engine is running 😎

[@molaroismorais1955]

Brother, you made me jealous !!! I am not buying a Lexus instead, a toyota rav4 ...

[@NameItBuildIt]

They are both amazing cars! I think you will be happy either way. 😎

[@burningkarma]

Any special lube needed before installing?

[@NameItBuildIt]

Nothing. if you use anything it changes the torque specs and could strip threads easier. Just change every 50-75K and you will never need any dielectric grease 😎

[@rayh4235]

I’m not hearing a click when I put in the new one before twisting it

[@NameItBuildIt]

You should feel it, do it very slowly and gently. Or if you start screwing in new one and there is no tension after a few threads you are good to go. I always tell someone who is new at this to listen for click, just make sure you don’t cross thread it 😎

MY 2016 rav 4 is at 95000km. Should I change em? And what will improve? thanks

KM not miles correct? So if you’re at approximately 59K miles, I would say yes and everything will improve! Better acceleration, more power, better gas mileage and smoother idle. 😎

If this compatible with rav4 2013 limited..amazon is telling me NO. One bosch do ument says yes and the user manual says no. Confused.

[@NameItBuildIt]

Every RAV4 2013-2018 has the same engine EXCEPT the Hybrid. So if yours is not Hybrid they will work. Never go by any other website other than the manufacturer of the product you are buying. I’ve been using them 8 years and they are fantastic, but if you want to go factory, then by all means Denso is great also.

[@Bren39]

@@NameItBuildIt thanks for the reply. I bought it thru your Amazon link. You saying I should have bought from Bosch direct?

[@NameItBuildIt]

No what I was saying was you should always check on the manufacturers website to cross reference part numbers so that you know what part fits your vehicle directly from the manufacturer of the part. Amazon’s parts compatibility finder isn't always accurate. 😎

[@timothyward5607]

You don't use never sieze?

That’s the worst thing to do. It changes torque specs. Then you can actually overtighten them which might make them break off in block later when you go to change again. 😎
