[@skrizzplace]

THANK YOU OH SO MUCH!! YOU JUST SAVED ME 100$ OR MORE. IF ONE HUMAN CAN DO IT, I CAN STUDY IT, STUDY AGAIN, AND CAREULLY DO THIS MYSELF!!!!! THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!!!!

Awesome to read! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for making this video. Changing plugs on this car is thankfully quite easy. 4 bolts hold down the coils on each plug. Nothing is in the way. Everything came apart so nice and easy. Next time I do it I will be surprised if it takes me 15 minutes unless I just decide to clean everything under that plastic cover.

[@PritpalSingh-ys6ol]

I have a 2012 Sonata with 277k miles on it. I have never had the spark plugs changed. After watching this video, I will attempt to do it myself. Thanks...

[@2carpros]

You got this! Thanks for watching!

[@lonelybullet1]

I wonder how much oil does your engine burn between oil changes ?

[@regularconversation]

how is that possible?? spark plugs don’t last that long they 300% have been changed before you just didn’t find out or something

[@perryallan3524]

@@regularconversation October 2024: I had well over 200,000 miles on my 2009 Sonata before I changed spark plugs. I only changed the plugs because two of the the coil packs were starting to fail - so I changed all plugs and coil packs at the same time. Yes, in a properly tuned and cared for engine... modern spark plugs last a very very long time. Note that I have been running Mobile 1 oil since 4000 miles and typically change it every 5000-6000 miles. I credit that to the reason I have well over 300,000 miles on the engine... and it runs just great except for a recent problem which is most likely a bad vacuum hose or bad PVC valve (all of which are original). It also helps a lot that the 2009 2.4L engine is manifold fuel injection and not direct injection and that the block was made in the old factory before they built a new factory several years later that left metal shavings in the block. Turbocharging also shortens the life of the block. I'll stick with my 2009 as long as I can (and I have found 2 remanufacturers who remanufacturer the 2-3 year range of this engine (but they are looking for an "old block" like mine to be returned): That's my plan if the engine dies as the rest of the car is in great shape). I've soaked a few bolt clamps with liquid wrench this morning as they are frozen and I need to remove the air intake system from the air filter to the throttle body to gain access to what looks like a problem emission system vacuum hose. If its just a bad hose or PVC valve, it will be fixed relatively easy. If its something else, then more advanced troubleshooting will be needed (a bad throttle body is also a possibility other than a vacuum leak somewhere)- I'll have to evaluate if I'm up to replacing the manifold gasket myself if its leaking (a possible vacuum leak). We will see what I find.

My wife was just quoted $300 at the dealership to change the spark plugs. I remembered changing the ones in our car as a kid and figured it can't be all that different/more difficult now. Turns out it isn't. What a bunch of crooks. Thank you for this video!

[@2carpros]

Yep! That's how they make money. Thanks for watching!

[@bellojj]

Depends what car… some Nissans need to remove whole intake manifold and many parts to reach the plugs. Hyundai and Honda is easiest to do.

[@chipmaria1]

Being a man from the 60's a tune up consisted of a number of things. With the newer cars (I own a 2013 Sonata) does the tune-up pretty much consist of replacing the spark plugs. Also, 2CarPros - thanks for the video - it was very helpful.

What size tools did you use

[@regularconversation]

you need a torque wrench and a 16mm or 5/8th spark plug socket OR a socket that’s long enough to fit the spark plug if they don’t have the spark plug version… you also need to look up in your car manual the amount of lbs per ft to set the torque wrench too when you’re tightening the plugs in the cylinders. i have no clue why the guy didn’t post the tools needed or the amount of force needed to bolt them in because that’s CRUCIAL

[@foreignfilmfan]

This video had no issues, and went smoothly. What are common concerns that often occur to turn this DIY into something nightmarish for the owner?

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching! Just having the right extensions honestly.

Are the spark plugs pre gapped?

[@tigerbiterhater]

Hello. I have 2012 sonata gdi turbo. Was overheating. Took to dealer. And they found out it had a warp head. Got it all replaced and worked on by Hyundai under warranties. Now it's leaking oil from area where the turbo sits. Any suggestions?? Can it be a bad valve cover seal? Or spark plug seal!? No I haven't checked spark plugs to see if it's wet with oil.

Is there any difference if you pull out first the electrical connector before lifting out the ignition coil? I had hyundai sta fe sports 2013 T2.0. Thanks for the video tho..

Was this done in real time? 5 minutes? Because I can see myself struggling to remove covers, screws, and sparkplugs due to unforeseen damage, age, or other issues.

[@MexAttacks]

Regarding hyundai sonata 2011. What else can be done for a proper tune up? Just replace spark plugs? That's it? I'm not sure if I heard you say replace coils or put back coils haha.

[@regularconversation]

just rewatch it then O.o

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

Question ; My 2013 Hyundai Sonata is used for airport transportation. I'm one of those crazy people that replaces spark plugs every 50,000 miles (just to make sure my car performs at Peak Performance at all times). Should I stick with the original equipment Nippon Denso plugs ($15 each) or can I go with Champion ($5 each) or Bosch ($8 each) as long as I stick with iridium?

[@2carpros]

I can only recommend the factory OEM stuff where available. Although Bosch makes some quality plugs. Thanks for watching!

[@RoadRunner-yu8cu]

@@2carpros what is considered factory OEM for 2012 Sonata limited? Local shop is recommending NGK plugs and a friend mechanic is recommending Denso or E3, or even actual Hyundai plugs

[@dwayneshaffer1914]

Should you put anti seize on the spark plugs?

[@2carpros]

A dab on the threads is always a good call. Thanks for watching!

[@paulchoi527]

Is the spark plug socket necessary? Does it just have a magnetic to help pull the plug out?

[@2carpros]

Yes a spark plug socket is absolutely necessary for this job. It is a deep well socket with a rubber insert that grabs and holds the spark plug. This is necessary for removal and installation. Thanks for watching!

[@bodybyfisher44]

Paul Choi Very. You can't grab a hold to it with out

[@chrisg2035]

My extension kept coming off the spark plug socket - leaving the socket down in the hole with the plug after replacing it. So I ended up using some "Duct Tape" to tape the socket to my ratchet extension. It worked.

[@muhammadadil530]

[@MegaGeorge1948]

Do you have to wait for the engine to cool down before removing the plugs due to the cylinder head being aluminum? So that the head's threads don't gall up when the plugs are removed? Also, what holds the new spark plug in your socket so that the plug does not drop into the hole when you are installing them?

[@2carpros]

Engine temp doesn't matter too much, but I wouldn't do it right after you turned the engine off. Always good to let it cool down a bit just for safety concerns. It's a sparkplug socket. It is specifically designed to hold on to the sparkplug.

[@Kevinb1821]

They are set from the manufacturer of the plug, thanks for your service to our country. Please subscribe

[@andivalachi8247]

Actually, the Denso 3478 (seem to be the same as in the video) are gaped at 0.044 - the higher margin of the recommended Hyundai (which is 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in)).

[@andivalachi8247]

Then again, I discovered that trying to set the gap on iridium spark plugs can do more harm than good (the tip can be easily messed up). So, probably it is better to leave them with 0.044in.
