How to replace spark plugs on Toyota RAV4

2004 Toyota RAV4 L Denso SK20R11 Spark Plugs

[@justinrogers1988]

Love the attention to cleanliness and other small details. That said, NEVER use anti seize on a spark plug with shiny threads. It already comes with a special coating from the factory to prevent seizing. Any anti seize used will act like a lubricant and will cause your torque specs to be off, ultimately over-torquing the spark plug. The only time anti-seize should be used is when the threads on a spark plug have a dull/matted, non-shiny/metallic finish. 😎👍🏼

As an "old school" mechanic, I really appreciate your attention to small details, something you almost never see today. Keep up the good work.

This was super helpful changing my spark plugs for the first time on my 04 rav4. Everything made sense and you went slowly so I was able to keep up. Even 4 years later, still a very useful video. Thank you!

This was such a great video I feel absolutely confident doing it myself I unfortunately don’t have any tools to do so. But over all amazing way of explaining step by step

Great video TM. Not too sure about cleaning those holes with the plug removed for any crud (esp #2) can fall off your rag and into the cylinder no? I normally use some compressed air and clean while plug is installed. Keep the videos coming TM. Thanks again!
