Is there a diy how to change the plugs and is it hard?

I'm sure there is a DIY out there but IMO its pretty easy, I believe the plugs are rated for 105k or 90k can't remember off hand. I think the Hardest part about changing the plugs is reaching the back ones but even then it's not bad just take it slow and recheck yourself along the way.


Edit: did a quick search and came up with a DIY for the 2gen's it's the same for the most part. Only thing I did different was I took off the strut tower bar, which isnt really needed but does make it easier to reach the rear plugs.

You got a while I Wouldn't worry about it, but if it gives you peace of mind go for it.

the plugs on your TL-S won't be due until 105k miles so you got plenty of room left before you get worry.

This tip from the linked 2G thread is REALLY useful to get that one closest to the passenger seat (right rear plug) out:

I just changed mine today at 73K miles. Those OEM NGK IR plugs are EXPENSIVE!! All six cost me $77. It's all good though because I don't have to worry about it for a long time. They were pretty easy to replace. The only thing you have to do is remove the strut bar in order get the back plugs out. Also be careful with the plug coil. Don't get them damage or bent because those thing are expensive just for one. You are looking at close around $150 - $200 each.

buy them from Advance Auto next time, I got my set for around $55 shipped.

To the OP, i would just wait till 105k. It's not like your plugs will foul themselves from nonuse.

I changed the ones on my TLS a few months ago at 70,000 miles. I was lucky I did because the front center plug was nearly all the way backed out, had never been touched & just loosened up from the factory. I wouldn't change them until 105,000 miles but at 50,000 I would just check them for tightness. BTW I had a honda Tech change them for cash on the side. If I did it I know I'd strip something.

I changed mine at about 75K. I would say between 75K and 100K would be fine. I did mine early because I had the time and the cash for the plugs. It was just after I bought the car and I wanted to basically start fresh.
