Great video once again Masterjack. I did our 08 rav4 at 140000 miles. The only problem i had was loosing spark plugs with a cold engine. Some forums say to warm vehicle up first live & learn.
@@flyingman358 Change it when you feel misfiring, rough idling, poor fuel economy, hard starts. Anything that is an ignition-related issue, try changing spark plugs first and see if it fixes the issue as it is one of the easiest jobs to do on a car (depending on the car of course).
Thanks for the video! Only downside is my OCD is on fire over that engine bay. All the dirt, leaves and crud being left there during this type of work. Especially bad for anytime the combustion chamber is open...
MasterJacks Thanks Jack, I already have! My wife has a 2008 with around 98k on it. I plan on doing almost everything in your videos. Really appreciate being able to have all the tips you have provided. Many thanks indeed!
Did you change transmission fluid for your wife RAV4, 2008 ?. I did not see on your RUclips? Thank you for your upload. I did have 2007 rav4, I learn a lot from your work! That is saving money!!!
Matthew Q You've got me curious. What's the reasoning behind that? I've never experienced a problem with anti-seize on NGK plugs before, or any plugs for that matter...
@@cbowman212 most chrome plated plug manufacturers state not to use anti-seize. The reasoning is that anti-seize essentially lubricates the threads and you can therefore over-torque them. If you're careful, I still think it's a great practice. The only spark plug I've ever seen broken on removal was a chrome plated plug that didn't have anti-seize on it.
@@MasterJacks Lubrication on threads has nothing to do with proper torque. Torque is the amount of pressure of the interface of the mating thread surfaces. This pressure will be the same with or without lubrication on the threads. A possible exception might be an excessive amount of lubrication applied, in which case the lubrication could in theory result in a false torque reading to the low side resulting in not enough torque being applied as the lubrication absorbs some of the torque pressure. That long winded statement being said, I did not even notice anti-seize on the threads of the new plugs. I did see a good application of spark plug boot lubricant which I wholeheartedly approve of.
Just fyi. It's best to avoid unplugging the wire harnesses from the ignition coil. They have a tendency to snap at the tab on many cars from age and heat
AwesomenessIskey yes and if u did then use electrical connection cleaning spray and re grease with die- electric Then with hi temp paint marker Date the block Also it would not be bad to bench test what ever is available at the moment & individually inspect each plug per cyl for funny business. Check the gap with a feeler gauge for symmetry And use SIL-GLIDE not ANTI SEIZE on the threads or use copper grease Once in a blue moon I’ve poured some shit in each hole to clean up carbon on the piston and sucked it out w/ a vac n clear hose. Then spray oil in each one Always always clean everything you touch back to stock surface. Peace of mind , ocd, and finished
Hello bro..I just love your videos they are so to the point and clear . I would love a video of changing the a.c. cabin filter and second what do you think causes my 08 rav4 to idle erotic while I idle the vehicle or put it in reverse
Has the car recently lost electrical power (battery change etc.).? If so it is likely the onboard computer requires resetting. There is another RUclips listing on how to do this but in essence.1) Run the car until normal operating temperature and switching off all additional power uses such as A/Con, radio etc.and engage the hand brake. (2) Turn the car to full "Off" position. Wait a couple of minutes. (3) Turn the ignition to "on" position for a second or two but DON'T START. Turn back to full "Off" position. Turn the car back to "On" position and then start. (4) If the car is manual just let it idle for several minutes. If the car is automatic put the handbrake on AND your foot brake on, put it in "Drive" and wait for several minutes. During this time the car idle will move up and down whilst the computer resets itself. When it completes the reset (stops changing). Reset is complete so turn the car off. Hope this helps.
People make videos just to be on the internet anti seize compound is only used for air cooled engines you use a little bit of clean motor oil and sometimes I spray a little knocked loose down the plug holes before I loosen the plugs a little bit of penetrating oil Anti seize compound will all the plugs to run hotter?
Dude those look like they're over-torqued and not because the lack of a torque wrench but most new spark plugs you don't need to add any anti-seize grease. I hope your car is still ok.
Sorry for the late response. If you're experiencing misfires, it very likely could be the problem. Sometime small cracks like that are actually carbon tracking where spark has found another path to ground besides the cylinder. It's a very common cause for misfires, especially through spark plug boots and wires.
antonio perez garcia it's called a Fuel Pump Relay. Hope this helps: www.google.com/amp/fusesdiagram.com/toyota/fuses-and-relay-toyota-rav4-2005-2012.html/amp
MasterJacks thank you very much if it helps me, just that it does not come as the image shows, only that they will change it, since in the place that the image shows, in my vehicle that space is empty
The easiest thing to use is a spark plug socket, which has an integrated rubber boot. It will grip the spark plug for you for easy extraction and re-installation. Otherwise, some long needle nose pliers are a good substitute.
@@dannytruong4326 spark plugs don't need to be super tight, just snug. The safest thing to do is torque them to their proper spec of 18 ft lbs with a 3/8" torque wrench. For this type of thing, an inexpensive torque wrench from Harbor Freight would do the job. A torque wrench is essentially an adjustable ratchet that allows you to tighten something to a set value.
Assuming yours is also a 4-cylinder, it will have a different plastic engine cover on top for your model year. Once you take it off, the service method will be the same as shown in this video.
I like to provide the specs but don't always find myself grabbing the torque wrench for plugs. 18 ft lbs falls into the "snug but not crazy tight" category.
And you weren't gloves just to change spark plugs wow you should have vacuumed and clean the engine bay first least take it to the carwash and you're wearing gloves to change spark plugs wow backwards
Simple enough! Great instructions, step by step! Thanks for posing this video!
Enjoyed the slam at the end I’m required to do it on mine proper lock 😛
funny l don't spect that 😅
holy cow. you just slammed the hood hard.

What reason needs to replace sparks ?

No hay problema si mixteo los cables de las bujías
NGK doesn't recommend using anti-seize on threads.
Clean that filthily engine bay.
Nice job man! Very informative, just got myself the 2008 RAV4 V6, nice ride.Would you say it's the same procedure on the 6 cylinder just two extra?
Thanks! Same process, but some plugs might not be as easily accessible.
On the 6 cyl you have to remove the throttle body and the air intake plenum.
It’s nightmare on the v6 require a swivel socket
What do you think of Ruthenium plugs? Nice video. Make it look very easy.
People make videos just to be on the internet anti seize compound is only used for air cooled engines you use a little bit of clean motor oil and sometimes I spray a little knocked loose down the plug holes before I loosen the plugs a little bit of penetrating oil Anti seize compound will all the plugs to run hotter?
No need for anti seize for iridium plugs. Don't slam hook just drop it like a foot height
Dude those look like they're over-torqued and not because the lack of a torque wrench but most new spark plugs you don't need to add any anti-seize grease. I hope your car is still ok.
How much do you charge to change these spark plugs?
My ignition coils have some small hairline cracks. Could that be causing misfires? Where would you recommend purchasing replacements?

Sometime small cracks like that are actually carbon tracking where spark has found another path to ground besides the cylinder.

Is the anti seize really necessary? Some People told me to not do that but im not sure
You suposedly don't need it for chrome plated threads, but I've always had better luck using it than not.
Great video; what tool did you use to pickup old/drop in new spark plugs?
The easiest thing to use is a spark plug socket, which has an integrated rubber boot. It will grip the spark plug for you for easy extraction and re-installation. Otherwise, some long needle nose pliers are a good substitute.
@@MasterJacks for someone who's never changed spark plugs, how do i know when to stop tightening the plugs so it's not overtightened?

@@MasterJacks thank you. That's my main concern as i don't want to mess up the threading on the plug/head,.everything else is pretty straightforward
I have 2012 toyota rav4 do you think the video is the same one? when should change the spark plug and how many mile?
Assuming yours is also a 4-cylinder, it will have a different plastic engine cover on top for your model year. Once you take it off, the service method will be the same as shown in this video.
MasterJacks when should need to change the spark plug?
About every 100,000 miles.
It's easier than a v6 .
I use just a wish of antiseize...
🤔что за смазка такая ?
what kind of lubrication?
Anti-sieze for the the threads, and dielectric grease for the boots.
@@MasterJacks thank you very much
look,s like a scrap yard leave,s in ventilation air intake
you said 18 ft pounds torque... we dont see a torque wrench anywhere in your commercial ??????????????????????????????????
I like to provide the specs but don't always find myself grabbing the torque wrench for plugs. 18 ft lbs falls into the "snug but not crazy tight" category.
pls clean the motor and air intake before make a video
And you weren't gloves just to change spark plugs wow you should have vacuumed and clean the engine bay first least take it to the carwash and you're wearing gloves to change spark plugs wow backwards
any talking ???????????????????????????????
