Wow, I never realized this was so simple! I'm slowly learning basic maintenance for my car and this will be so handy. :) I'm just not sure what the gap size is on my civic.
@@edwardhill6945 this. NGK plugs I know come pre-gapped and are used by Honda for OEM. They also have a thread coating that means you don't need to (and shouldn't!) use anti-seize
Found this post from Genkins on another video that made it MUCH easier for me to remove the back 4 coils/plugs. I am a novice and it was very easy for me to do. Well worth the extra 15 minutes removing/replacing the cowl/heat shield. “You have to take off the windshield wiper cowl first and the heat shield under that. For the cowl, there are three small tabs/clips that need to be popped off with a flat head screw driver - one on the left, center and right. Once those are off start pulling up on the cowl. You'll be able to snap it back in to place when you're done. One thing to note is that the washer fluid hose is attached to this piece too so don't use excessive force when pulling the cowl up and out. Once removed, put the wipers up and positioned the cowl on the lower part of the windshield out of the way. Now for the heat shield. There are 9 bolts total. You'll need a 10mm and a 12mm socket for these as well as an 8-10" extender. You'll see 3 main bolts on the left and the right. Then there are 3 more bolts deeper at a different angle where the extender will really help to get too - one on each side by the other set of three bolts and then one in the center. Unscrew all those and pull the heat shield out. You'll now have the clearance you'll need to get to all the rear plugs.”
Yes. Ive heard with a 1.4 Vtec its about 100k km and with a Type R the same, but if having a 1.8 Vtec its about 150k km LOL Well depends on driving style but 1.4 and Type R drivers doing overall more RPM.

Numerous Q’s from 1st timers asking about gap. DONT! All of these new type iridium or other fine wire plugs are pre set. You will ruin them trying to change the gap. Most will have some type of warning about not gapping.

8 months late but aluminum doesn't flex like steel it just cracks. It would be worth it to go out of your way to get a torque wrench with a lower range if you intend on doing this yourself.
Best vid on sparplug removal for a honda civic. My first time doing it. But noticed you did not use "Anti-seize lubricant is it necessary? Also how to know your not putting sparplug in an angle kinda hard to tell from down there.
With newer vehicles you typically don’t, the shiner plugs are already coated and putting on anti sieze could mean you’d ending causing more problems. With a Honda I always go Ngk, and there website says theirs are coated. Just go with the manufacturer recommended plugs and do some research

I first looked because I was gonna do a spark plug check with another plug (like I have done on older cars and motorcycles) as soon as I took off the beauty cover on a 2007 it is WTF? where is the schit? I used to drive gas for 20 years(50's-70's cars and motorcycles) then went to German diesel cars and glow plugs for 15 years so was just gonna check the spark on a lawnmower plug without going out and buying a new plug. But with that long coil it seems I can't test them that way. Scheet! The car makers are making road side repairs almost impossible...like they think their cars last forever? Well, stuff breaks. $17 for spark plugs and $200 to have a mechanic change them? NFW
Anytime really. You can do this job for 15$ 4 plugs. I would say that plugs should be good for at least 30k miles. However if you have oil on them you may need to replace more often.
Sparkplugs usually come pre-gap but it's around 0.04 inches if you really wanna know. Although a quick google research would have given you the answer and would have take approximately the same amount of time you used to write your comment.

You'd think they would have edited that out or rerecorded that part.

Are you talking about the Honda J engines on Accords?? The rear spark plugs are a PITA to get to
Thanks for your showing how to replace the spark plugs, you made it look very simple👍
THE DEMON UNDER THE CAR ALMOST ATE THAT 10MM NUT. DANGER!!
Great and Thanks to 1AAuto. I was able to finish it in 30 minutes.
LOL at 0:59 I feel ya buddy. I lost a 10mm socket like that.
Thanks for this , at what mileage do you recommend changing the plugs ?
I've read 13lbs of tourqe, then read 18lbs of tourqe. Now I'm scared 😂

Wow it’s pretty simple. Thanks for the video!
Do you need to retune the car at all after replacing the coils and spark plugs? Thanks in advance
Nope
Saved me a grip!
A small amount of anti seize on the threads and some dialatic grease on the rubber boot will make the next change easier
