Mazda CX-5 | Installing new spark plugs | It's EASY

In this video we replace the spark plugs in our 2018 Mazda CX-5. They were due at 75,000 miles (We were over 110K.)

The dealer wanted to charge my wife almost 500$ to replace these. Glad we have this vid instead.

[@iandowell8272]

My dealer wants 350. Still to much

[@cristianmetz9470]

@@iandowell8272 It's really easy to do. I only have ONE tip and that is to put the bolts in the exact place they came out. They're not all made equal and may strip on the way back in if it's not in the exact place it came out of.

[@MATIKKMUZIK101]

​@@iandowell8272Dealer quoted me $339 for plugs, I'll jst install them myself. They wanted $130 for two air filters, I bought both online for about half that price for Mazda3.

[@BIshup95]

That's criminal

[@agingmillennialmainer]

$445 for my dealer in seekonk. Shame

[@BasketBowlers]

Thank you for the CX-5 playlist. My brother has a 2017. I've added a Fumoto valve where a hose can be connected. I can drain the oil straight into an empty 5-quart jug while I do a tire rotation. I just ordered front/rear brakes/rotors, as well as spark plugs since he's getting close to 75K. I may also do the transmission and transfer case fluids.

[@MaqsVids]

@@BasketBowlers you are very welcome. We will be doing the transmission fluid soon too.

[@Swampster70]

Tip if you're using the spark plug socket: when you're putting the spark plugs in, use the spark plug socket but don't press the plug in all the way into the socket. Put the top of the spark plug in almost to the point where the hex is almost in the socket but not quite. This is like using the rubber tube (because the plug is being held by the rubber in the socket) but always you to get the plug in more accurately than a floppy rubber tube. The spark plugs do a good job at self aligning themselves due to the design and once you've turned the extension a few full revolutions, you can pull the socket off to make sure the plug is threaded and then put in back on to tighten.

Just came across this video. Thank you. It made it so easy for me to change the spark plugs, as a first timer. Good information!

[@MaqsVids]

You are very welcome!

[@ltrain6738]

Thank you so much for doing this! Y’all make a great team! #mazdalife

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks 😁 I'm trying to get her more into working on stuff.

[@augiebusch]

Great video. Thanks!

[@Zupkod1]

Very well done. Thanks for that quick, simple well explained guide. I am subscribing to maintain my wife's CX-5 with 102,000 miles and going strong.

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks 🙏 and you are very welcome! We will be doing a bit more work in the coming weeks.

[@richardhammond3304]

Great video. I just want to comment that if you see any dirt or debris around the spark plug tubes, vacuum it away so it doesn't fall into the cylinder.

[@MaqsVids]

@@richardhammond3304 ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️Yes! (And thanks)

[@ragazzoitaliano1982]

Good video👍 Thanks for sharing

[@user-ss6zt2mo1l]

Great video 🎉

[@eddyandrianasolo4799]

Can I hired your wife to change my spark plug on my car too. Do not charge us to much! LoL. You guys you look like a good team work

[@Troyboy2121]

Wife working on a car? You got a winner!!!!

[@325ariel]

There are a few women like myself who does this with our husbands, but to the society who doesn’t know we’re married will actually call us too masculine.

[@alfredo8431]

Good stuff 👍🏽

[@MaqsVids]

Thanks!

[@charleshart5563]

Good job

[@mikeblast7507]

NGK plugs are the best.

[@oscararaujo4317]

I know the transmission fluid is a "lifetime" fluid. But do you plan on changing or flushing it

[@SmartLifeSolutionsWork]

What is the extender tool called that you use on a spark plug socket while torquing it with a torque wrench? And what size?

[@MaqsVids]

It's a 3/8 inch extension. I believe it's 10 inches. A link to one is below. You can get cheap socket sets with them. amzn.to/49aroCl

[@toddsmith1617]

Thanks! Does it take five quarts of oil for a cx5 natural aspirated engine?

[@user-ss6zt2mo1l]

5.1 quarts or 4.8 liters. In USA 5.1 quarts. Use dipstick as measurement to be safe.

[@kuentos94]

Thank you for that usefull video ! A stupid question, do you need to do an oil change after changing your plugs or it's because your oil change was due ?

[@MaqsVids]

It was just due. It was a good time to knock out both things.

[@jorge242]

I read somewhere that you are supposed to change the coil boots with the plugs. Was hoping to see how you remove them from the coil packs...

[@iandowell8272]

My dealer didn't mention anything other then plugs. Maybe he was distracted when I asked about plug wires. He got a good laugh on that one.

[@dnasty433]

Where did you get the hose for installing the new plugs?

[@MaqsVids]

I got it at the local auto parts store. They usually have bulk hose they sell by the foot.

[@alangolightly9850]

Can't get far right coil boot onto plug. Hoses above in the way. 2019 cx5 turbo.

[@alangolightly9850]

The turbo has a metal bracket on top that has to be unbolted. 4 bolts. Otherwise almost impossible to change the plugs (except far left). Turbo is more difficult.

[@jayjani327]

URGENT ‼️ I am not able to insert 4th pipe(from left) in right now. It does not sit properly no matter what . I tired 100 times and it’s not sitting. Please help !

[@DearSX]

Try the original again gently

[@howardoneil1917]

should put dielectric lube on coils

[@gongshow20]

why use the tube and just use the socket driver?

[@MaqsVids]

The tube reduces the risk of cross threading the threads on the head. Sadly, it happens. I have had to repair some. So, it is not absolutely necessary, but it is a good precaution.

[@gongshow20]

@@MaqsVids But the tube was bent, my extension with a socket bit is going to go straight and you'd feel the threads getting cross threaded that way as well.

[@MaqsVids]

@@gongshow20 Again, it's not absolutely necessary. The tube will slip on the plug before crossthreading, the socket and extension would not. You . ..😉 do not have to use the tube. 👌👍
