This is probably the clearest how to car video I’ve ever seen. Great work!
Thank you for the compliment! My goal is to make short and to the point DIY and how-to videos without any fillers. Thank you for watching!
Dealership was charging me $363 to replace my spark plugs, I paid $64 for everything, and did it in 15 minutes after watching this video. Thank you.
That’s great! I’m glad you were able to save some money! Thank you for watching and please consider giving it a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
My local Mazda dealer wanted $350 to change out the 4 spark plugs. I feel like I may spend $60 at most including the torque wrench and do this in 15 minutes after watching your video. I watched a half dozen or so about this topic and this was by far the best and gave me the most confidence. I'll let you know how it comes out.
It really is a very straightforward process, take your time and you should be fine. Let us know how it turns out. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
$350 FOR A 15 MINUTE JOB. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE OUT TO RAPE US. JUST LEARN HOW TO DO MORE BY WATCHING THESE VIDEOS.
I replaced spark plugs in our 2008 Mazda 3 today and this video was super helpful and very easy to follow. Probably the best step-by-step car video guide that I ever watched. Thank you very much! I didn't use a torque wrench as I didn't have one but the new plugs were pretty snug and tight and I was careful not to overtighten them. On a side note, I noticed quite a bit of dust, sand and other debris so I vacuumed the area before removing the coil packs but was careful while doing so. Thank you!
Thank you for the compliment, I try to make videos that are very clear and with no fillers. Thank you for watching and if you haven’t already please consider giving the video a thumbs up and subscribing. Thanks again!
I was reluctant to get a torque wrench where the torque to tighten the plug is at the very low end of the wrench. I did a little digging, and a chart told me to tighten a quarter turn as a rule of thumb for plugs this size. (I assume this means a quarter turn past hand tight.)
UPDATE - I changed the plugs a couple of days ago. The plugs in there must have been the originals - they are marked "Ford" and 6M8G-12405-BB (Mazda #) and ILTR 5A-13G (NGK #), which corresponds to the NGK "Laser Iridium" plugs. There's no gasket on the the old plugs or the replacements. It's set up in the car to be almost impossible to cross-thread them.
I found it impossible to tighten 1/4 turn, but I probably tightened more than 1/8. After I was done, and had a successful test drive, I took another look at the little boxes that held the new plugs, and noticed that it had a little graphic showing that you tighten them 1/16 turn!
Now I'm thinking I should loosen the plugs and try to be precise about tightening 1/16 turn.
Does the 2008 Mazda use the same spark plugs as recommended for the 2010?
Great point about NOT using anti-seize! Throws off the torque values. Good video- clear and to the point!
Thanks for the compliment! Yes I’m sure that most people aren’t aware of the fact you shouldn’t use anti-seize. I think they have good intentions. If you found this video helpful please hit the thumbs up button and consider subscribing! Thanks again!
5 Minute Fix it - yes, I did sub, thx!
I would rather use it and I do use it every time without issue.. going for a torque figure is irrelevent on plugs, all they need is to be snug.
💥💥💥‼️ Thanks to your video, I’m pleased to share that I have successfully changed my 3’s spark plugs for the first time, then taken it for a spin, and there have since been tens of thousands of happy little explosions, and not a single one of them was unexpected 🥳. Thanks for your clear, concise, and thorough walkthrough.
Love it, comment of the month goes to you! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Wow, just did mine in 25 minutes using this vid. Fairly straight forward. I used a long nose pliers to take out the plugs and stick the new one in.
Easy peasy. Many thanks. Car purred after.
@@MrSerhum Thank you for watching, I’m glad the video was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank You!
I need my spark plugs replaced. I've never done done it before, so I've been watching videos, and yours is the best. I actually think I can do this!!
Thank you. Your video isn't too long. I understand your directions.
Mimi Mineau thank you for watching and if you have all the tools and the right spark plugs this is a very easy job! Good luck, let us know how it goes and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Happy to see positive comments. The other videos have people criticizing heavily in the comments. I feel much safer following your directions
I never changed a spark plug before, I didn't even know exactly where they were in my engine, but did all four very easily today thanks to your guide. The owner's manual may possibly explain where to find them, but if it does the information is buried.
Great job! Im glad you were able to do it with the help of my video! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
This is the best how-to video I've seen. Really well done, quality work.
Thank you for the compliment and for watching, I appreciate it!
Best upload for changing Mazda 3 spark plugs. No frills instructions. I don’t understand why some people say you must remove the negative battery terminal first before beginning. You pull out the plug from the coil anyway so I don’t see how you could short something, especially if ignition is off.
Thank you for watching, I’m glad it was helpful! I agree that it isn’t necessary for the battery to be disconnected. Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
One pointer to add ... if you have compressed air, blow the dust & debris from the cavity where the plugs are located after removing coils while plugs are still in place to minimize the debris and dust from entering the cylinder while removing and installing plugs.
Thank you for this, hopefully others will see this and use this tip!
I checked many videos, but used this one as main guidance to change my own spark plugs. Huge thanks, very detailed and very easy to understand
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment! I try to make my videos as clear and easy to understand as possible! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you.

Wow, such great camera quality!
Cody Ogozalek thank you for the compliment, I am trying out a new camera and so far like how things look!
🛠 🏆 5-star DIY video. This is how you make a great, useful, and easy-to-follow car maintenance video: tripod-mounted camera, no distracting background music, and methodical explanation every step of the way. When I hear shops charging $200-300 for a 4-plug swap on the Mazda3 2.3 engine I have to laugh. This is not a hard maintenance item if you follow this video. The only thing I would add is that I always blow out the spark plug hole before removing the spark plug. You don't want grit, sand, or other debris to fall down into the hole once the spark plug is removed.
Thank you for the compliment! I try to make short and to-the-point how-to videos so I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and that is a good point about blowing out before removing the plug! Thanks again!
Thank you. I just followed this video to change plugs on my Mazda. One of the best explanations I’ve ever followed. Cheers

Great video. Quality was amazing and instructions were simple and straight to the point I wish people made more videos like this great job. I definitely liked and subscribed to your channel.
I’m doing my plugs today and this just made it easier in my mind to do the job. Thanks man.
One thing I do know for sure about doing plugs and very important is do one at a time that way you don’t mix up your coil packs and they get put on the same plug.

@@5MinuteFixit I don’t have a torque wrench so how tight do I tighten the spark plugs. My neighbour said a half turn after their snug and my buddy said a quarter turn after their snug.
I don’t wanna tighten too much and I don’t wanna tighten not enough. Could you help me please? Replacing them as I type this.
@@GSDReny sometimes it will show you a diagram on the spark plug box...if there isn’t one there I would do 1/2 turn after you hand tightened them.
@@5MinuteFixit got the new plugs in and everything went smooth. Thanks your video was on point and made it easy.
@@GSDReny that’s great, thanks again for watching and letting us know how it turned out!
What should I be searching for on amazon for the parts? I found the torque wrench from the link and the long extension but am completely lost on the regular and small ratchet and small extension
Are the links not working? I apologize.
Excellent, excellent video. I need to replace the spark plugs on my 2010 Mazda 3 and this video gave me confidence in doing it myself.
One question. I’ve seen other videos were people gapped the new spark plugs before installing them. I remember back in the day when that was necessary, but I didn’t know people still do that. Is gapping the spark plugs necessary?
I would check the gap, most plugs come pre-gapped so I would just check to make sure it’s within spec. Thank you for watching and for the compliment! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already, thank you!
@@5MinuteFixit thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.
Absolutely! Good luck with the spark plug change!

Thanks for watching! I’m glad it was helpful, it is a fairly straight forward process and you shouldn’t have any issues doing it yourself!
Do the spark plugs come pre gapped? If not wat is the gap needed for the 2.5L mazda
Yes most plugs come pre gapped but it should have been noted to check the gap to ensure they were within spec. Thank you for watching!
Do u check the electrode gap? I just bought the spark plugs for my Mazda 6 and they come as 0.040" out of the box, but I've seen that Mazda recommends 0.052" for the 2.3L engine.
I checked the gap, and I did adjust them to 0.052".
Qaulity video, easy and straight forward, thank you!

Thank you for the great video!
I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Perfect. This is my weekend project. Quick question. Do you need to adjust the gap on the spark plug head or just go with how they come from box?
Most come “pre-gapped” but I would just double check with a gapping tool before installing. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
When the plugs are iridium, I would not recommend gapping the plugs as the electrode tip is so small and fine that you can chip pieces from the tip. I know this from experience. I was told to never gap iridium plugs by a mechanic friend. Most come pre-gapped already, just find the ones that fit the recommended gap spec for your car. My Mazda 3 has a gap recommendation of 0.05 inches and the Autolite iridium plugs I bought came pre-gapped at 0.050. Makes the installation hassle free.

Do you have to disconnect the battery when replacing spark plugs because I heard they do some weird stuff if you disconnect the battery?

hey great little video series for Mazda 3 2010, any chance you could do a detailed video about changing the transmission oil? (also if you do all the basic DIY videos like this playlist but with different old cars, you could become an established brand/channel in no time, (like your the channel people come to for the maintenance videos on their cars) I believe you will blow up with time)
snowmanmike thanks for the compliment! I try to make to the point videos with no filler. I hope people will find the value in my channel and encourage people to subscribe if they find the videos useful. I might do a Mazda 3 transmission video in the somewhat near future, stay tuned. Thanks again for the compliment and make sure you give the vids a thumbs up! Thank you!

is it important to change them one by one the way you did? or can u take all 4 of them out and then install new ones
Either way is fine. Thank you for watching! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
These 4 cylinders jobs are easy af changed my bros kia soul. My v6 caddy was a pain , had to take off manifold
I agree most 4cyl are pretty straightforward, the transverse V6’s are usually more involved like you said with your caddy. More things to move so you can access the plugs. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for share it was good video cause have 2005 mazda 3 2.3L 5spd have fast car
My car is a 2.3 2008 mazda 3. What spark plugs would I buy. Your link says 2.0 and 2.5
Hi great video. I’m getting a P0172 code. Any idea what it can be?
will a 3" extension long enough to take the spark plugs?
Do you need to gap the plugs, or are they nicely gapped already for the Mazda?
These plugs are iridium and come pre gapped, hopefully this helps!
I did these but now when I drive and go to a stop my car shakes and feels like it’s losing power any help?
Can I do this if I only have a 3 inch extension?
Is dielectric grease necessary for the spark plugs?
It isn’t necessary but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to put some on the ends of the cool packs.
Hi great video. I removed the spark plugs and one of them had motor oil on it. What does that mean?
This may answer your question there could be a few reasons and I think this explains them well, thank you for watching: cartreatments.com/oil-on-spark-plug/
Could not find the spark plug reference for the Mazda Tribute. Says page no longer exists. Anyone know what plugs are correct?
Rockauto.com will have the listing by make, model and year.
So when i removed the coil pack, the seal on the engine chipped off , is that a major problem? Idk what to do
It’s not a major problem, but that seal does help prevent debris from going down the tube and resting on the spark plug. The next time the plugs are changed the debris can fall into the combustion chamber.
Would this apply to a 2004 Mazda 3 2.0 as well?
The general process is the same just double check that the spark plug is the correct one and the torque spec is the same! Thank you for watching!

Old thread. What size spark plug socket on the plugs for 2.0? Tried 14mm and 18. Doesnt grip the plugs..
make sure to check your gap! you never did in this video... .052 for the 2.5L
What about for a 2.0
@@zosorob4559 .052, the same
Yeah I did all that even got the spark plugs from mazda and now my check engine light came on and it stalls while in driving it. Don't know what to do any suggestions?
If you have a code scanner I would see what codes the engine is throwing. If you don’t they are invaluable tools for car owners and usually pay for themselves after the first use. The codes it shows will point you in the right direction.
always check gap of the plug

@@5MinuteFixit Isn't it different for turbo?
What if I dropped one of my posts 😅how can I replace those cuz now I have a loose coil
Oh no…those may be a part that you can only get at Mazda.
What size is the torque wrench
Looks like a 1/2" drive. Usually used for taking off tires but he used an adapter to use the socket. That is what I do so I do not have to buy another torque wrench.
I know this might be common sense to some people but do I need to disconnect the battery during this process?
No need to disconnect the battery, there is no power going to the spark plugs.
Do the plugs need to be gapped?
These plugs are iridium and come pre gapped, hopefully this helps!

@@trevor93939jhxgeyeuejnrnfjdise it could be the spark plugs or another ignition component. I would suggest bringing it to an auto parts store and they can scan for any codes that the car may be storing.
How do you know when you have successfully tightened it to 10lb torque ft?
You use a torque wrench and set it to 10 ft lbs. You should feel the handle click as well as hear an audible clicking noise when you have reached the desired torque.
@@AdrianLopez-ne9hn okay than you, Adrian
do i need to size my spark plug ?
Many new spark plugs come pre-gapped but you should at least verify the gap. Thank you for watching!
No use of spark plug gapper?
Ty for refreshing ny memory !!! Lol
Thanks for watching!
Please u need help asap I did all of this and now my car starts like 2/6 times lol what did I mess up
Wires were pulled by accident and now the spark plugs arnt firing? Idk Id have to look to really know
I got a Mazda 3 2010 and it have a misfire on cylinder 3 and the car started to smoke
Did you change the plugs?
I thought you have to gap the plugs?
What do I do if I do not own a torque wrench?
A good rule of thumb is to seat the plug down by hand then do 1/2-3/4 turn after that. Do not over tighten. I have a link in the description for a reasonably priced torque wrench if you are interested! Thank you for watching!
Do you place any dioelectric grease on the coil pack and do you set the spark gap
I should have mentioned to check the gap, iridium spark plugs in most cases come pre gapped. Dielectric grease can be applied but only a very thin layer. Thank you for watching hopefully this helps!
Great video.. but is it really only 10 ft. lbs?
Yes as unbelievable as it is that is the torque spec. In general torque specs for spark plugs are fairly low. Thank you for watching!
@@5MinuteFixit Thanks for the super quick reply!
@@Isitworthitreviews You do not want to overtighten. (Or undertighten, for that matter.)
Is it ok if there is oil on top of spark plug
It’s most likely to be your valve cover gasket leaking and filling up the spark plug “wells” Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching.
@@5MinuteFixit oh okay, so do I need to change it or can I still drive? Thanks for the video and reply
@@Danny-dh2pg I would have it repaired as soon as possible and also keep an eye on your oil level as well, until it is repaired.
@@5MinuteFixit Thanks I’ll see if I can
not bad, but i think anti-seize lubricant and dielectric grease is also needed :/ just saying
Do you have to gap them? If so what’s the gap?
For a Mazda 3 they should be 0.049 to 0.052". I would measure them as quality control for these things are not what they used to be. In a pack of 4 you can easily get 2 that are out of spec.
HYGRADE thank you I appreciate it
When working on anything mechanical, bette to never....... FORCE anything. If there is resistance, there IS a reason why.
rule do thumb : I always '' COPPER SLIP '' anything that has a thread. Easy removal.
Anti-seize affects the torquing, so you're talking about a can of worms. NGK recommends not using anything. That also makes me nervous, because the threads are in there a long time between changes, and could get stuck. I'm doing the change at just under 70,000, hoping that the plugs won't be stuck when I try to remove them.
I still would have used anti-seize .
Changing spark plugs probably biggest waste of time ever.
Wish my 3 had less than 94k haha
Followed step by step but now my car won’t start 😬
Will the engine turn over?
I’m sorry turn it 10 pound feet what 😰 I don’t feel like spending $200+ on a shop doing this i wanna do it myself but damn i don’t know all this fancy talk
You can do it, ft-lbs is a unit of torque (basically how much you should tighten) the spark plug. Another good rule of thumb if you don’t want to over tighten is to hand tighten it without the wrench on until it seats then put the wrench on the extension and turn it 1/2 turn more. Hopefully this helps. The idea is that you want it tight but do not force it. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Nobody sais anything about gapping them
Dude! Can’t wait to try do this on my Mazda following your video. Just taking my car in for an alignment and they quoted me at 330 bleeping dollars to replace spark plugs. I don’t even know if that included the coils. I’m loving doing maintenance on my car especially for stuff like this. Not all heroes wear capes muh man! 🦸♂️
I’m at 105k. Hopefully I’m okay with waiting so long, they said I should have replaced them at 75k. How do you know if you need to replace the coils? If you are changing your plugs at 100k, then I’m sure I’m fine too to just change the plugs.
Thanks for the great video that’s so clear.
I wouldn't replace the coils unless you have a misfire that doesn't get fixed by replacing the spark plugs. Thank you for watching, Hopefully this helps!
