Thanks for the vid...took my 07 Accord to the dealership because of a recall on the airbags. Once they had me in, of course they recommended all kinds of things that needed to be done with my car..one being new plugs...at a cost of something like $270. Needless to say I got my free airbags and took the car home and checked youtube...something they apparently have never heard of.

Honestly for $270 i would recommend to go ahead with the plugs. Each plug already costs you 25-30 in store. Having to buy all the extra equipments and most importantly, risk breaking the plug in half while removing or debris falls into cylinders. Totally not a d.i.y job for beginners.

Oh this sounds familiar 🤔 we also took our 05 Honda accord ex into the dealer because we received Notice in the mail that they issued a Recall on the Airbags also. I was busy that day so my wife took it into the Honda dealership shop, She said after they were done they began telling her that our Honda was in need of some repairs and that they would be more than willing to work with us on a Great price... My wife knows better than to just assume the word of a stranger, She learned the hard way some years back with our Honda Oddesy Van, She too it in for an oil change and when they were done they recommended to have multiple Fluids flushed and refilled, new filters and wiper blades and some other stuff, she just agreed to the repairs they recommended and diddnt think twice about it. She did not Notify me prior to the services bieing performed. Over & 600 and 3 hours my wife got the keys to the van back and head3d home. Half way home the check engine light came on and things only got worse from there.. But anyways back to the dealership store. My wife told the mechanic or sales guy if he could print out a Recipe of all the recommended services they say needs to be donenand she would sleep on the idea. He gave her a print out and my wofe left the shop. As my wife pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main road she turned her Ac on in the car and it blew only hot air... My wife Immediately Pulled the car over and called me, I told her to Relax first of all because she was freaking out, But I told her you need to go straight back to them and ask what they touched when they changed the air bags. So she turned around and went straight back. She asked the guy at the front what they did to our car? He Claims they they did Nothing out of the ordinary and that They never went near anything for the ac unit. He also Made the statement that his Mechanics NEVER EVEN OPENED our Hood, So they couldn't be responsible for our ac unit blowing Hot air. My wife had me on the phone still so I could hear everything he was saying to her. I told her to just go ahead and bring the car home and I will look at when I got home later. I also told her when got back in the car that I found Exstremly Funny that the guy Mentioned that they Never even popped our hood and that they were Never inside of our hood where the engine is at and our ac system is located, Soooooo.... HOW did these Mechanics Get the Bright IDEA that our vehicle Needed All these services if they never popped our Hood?? Lmao.. it's just some dirty tricks to do to alot of people unfortunately. But Not all Mechanics are Liars and there is a good amount of Honest ones out there, But when the Bosses or the company is On your back and gives you the choice to iether may more money by any means including lieing to the customers or find another Job... it puts them in a Very difficult position. Have a great day. Tim.

Good video and well done. I've been twisting wrenches on my own cars, trucks and motorcycles for near 50 years. If I've learned anything its that I don't know everything. Contrary to what others have questioned your torque spec is correct. People need to understand this is an aluminum engine. knowing and following manufacturers recommended torque specs is CRITICAL!! And to the one respondent who said he's never used a torque wrench nor felt it necessary?? Wait till the day you strip the plug threads in a $10,000 motor. You have a chance of escaping disaster with a cast iron block.........not so with aluminum. Torque recommendations are backed by many years of knowledge and experience. I'll defer to that experience any day.

I liked the video, but I would like to add that NGK plates their spark plug threads with a trivalent plating. This is done so that the plugs can be put in dry and come undone later without any issues. NGK actually recommends you not put anti-seize on the threads as it can alter the torque value by up to 20%. I know a lot of people that still do use anti-seize, but at least for NGK it's not a necessity.

The 156 he mentioned was in newton meters. That's the equivilant to 11.5 foot pounds of torque. The Honda spec is 13 pounds of torque or you could say 176 newton meters. It's simply the conversion from "foot pounds" to "newton meters". Honestly I always use what the manufacture suggest and in this case it's 13 pounds of torque. @@all4onejerzy94

Didn't trust my (mechanical) torque wrench (looks similar to the one used in the video, but perhaps less accurate at smaller measurements (and with a bigger scale range?)), so after the first plug I followed the Honda manual which said if you don't have a torque wrench to just do 2/3 of a full clockwise rotation after the plug was seated against the engine. Seems like the old ones were in pretty solid (I wonder if they bothered to use a torque wrench), so we shall see... Also skipped the anit-sieze parts. Otherwise smooth as cake. Thanks RJ!

Contrary to popular belief "high performance" spark plugs are NOT a good idea, especially on modern vehicles which are tuned specifically for a desired output. Often times this output is best or possibly only achieved with the exact original plugs used when the car left the factory. A little side story, back in '83 my parents unknowingly bought "high performance" spark plugs and put in a 4 cylinder Ford Mustang. The spark plugs created a hotter spark which caused premature detonation of the fuel, the resulting knock was so severe it actually bent a rod in the motor. Might seem silly, might sound foolish, you might think they're idiots, but in the end the idea is that substituting a spark plug for a non OEM recommended plug on a stock motor is almost guaranteed to suffer performance and mileage if not damage.

What is the mileage that I should replace my spark plugs? I didn’t see mileage specified for spark plugs in my owners manual. (Sorry if someone already asked)

What can go wrong? A few things you can do that will help you sleep at night. #1 Did I apply anti sieze to all of the plugs? When using anti sieze compound I apply it to all plugs that I' m going to replace before I replace any. #2 Am I going to strip any threads? Put about an 8" length of 1/4" plastic tubing over the plug to be inserted. Note the tubing ID should prevent an easy disconnect. Insert plug and use tube to start threading . Give a slight tug on tube, then rotate to loosen and the rotate to tighten. Pull hose off, then tighten with socket. #3 Caution! If you are using two 3" extensions rather than one 6"inch a rubber filled spark plug socket may cause extensions to separate before it comes loose from the plug after replacement. I have two different sockets one rubber filled for removal , and an empty one for insertion . #4 Caution! Not all sockets are the same OD. I believe spark plug sockets have a thinner side wall. Do not insert any socket into the spark plug chamber that has the slightest contact on the outer diameter or you may not be able to get it out. #5 Disassemble the voice coil magnets from an old 3.5" HDD. Attach one half to a screwdriver, or other metal probe, for retrieving items. (Lessons learned from my Dodge Ram - 8 cyl, 16 copper spark plugs, replace every 30K miles, where 6 are replaced using a mental image rather then sight.)

This was helpful. I wonder if this help my 07 ACCORD with same engine @93k miles from consuming fuel so fast. I filled up my tank just to drive around town I only drove 275 miles and it only lasted 4 days. Do you think I might need a tune up? I bought my Accord for $3000 with 91k miles back on July 2.

I know in my 06 2.4L, one tank will roughly get me about the milage you described and if i really stretch it out (as in deep with the red line on the fuel gauge) i can get just over 300 miles per tank. P.S. My 06 Accord is at 140,000 miles, just for comparison.

have you tried a different oil company? I get more miles from costco gas 87 octane. Are driving below 2k rpm? Get NEW Tires that also get more mileage.

Jason Chan I have new tires and I drive a lot of short trips which consist mostly of driving in the city. I use regular unleaded gas (there's no need for me to use anything higher as there isn't really any benefit since i don't have a performance car). As for my driving habits, I tend to have a lead foot which I know definitely decreases my MPG, but I've accepted that.

For a vehicle of this year, do you have to keep in mind the firing order? If so, can you explain how you adjust for that, thanks.

***** Since there are no spark plug wires going to a distributor to deal with, you really don't need to know the firing order to do this.

I have a 2007 Accord 2.4 liter / 4 cylinder. I was charged just under 1 hour labor to have the spark plugs replaced (80% of an hour to be exact), with NGK Iridiums. Does that seem fair to you? Just checking the honesty/fairness of my mechanic.

It would have been much cheaper for you to do them yourself if you have the tools and the confidence that you can do this right. If you are uncertain/afraid of messing something up, I would take it to a shop that knows what they are doing.

Never use anti seize on NGK spark plugs, the plugs themselves already have a special coating from the factory.

NGK sells two types of laser Iridium for my 2003 Honda Accord 2.4 liter. One the gap is preset to 0.044 and the other is set to 0.052. Which one do I buy?

You should use a 16mm metric socket instead of a 5/8 standard socket. Using the wrong socket caused my spark plug to get stuck. 🤦‍♂️
