- In this video, young mechanic Aiman will show you and give you ideas on how to remove, replace and install spark plugs on a 2010 Honda Civic 1.8L 4-cylinder VTEC engine which is the same as other 8th generations Civic such as 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2011.
We're went with Honda OEM NGK Laser Iridium 1ZFR6K-11S 5266 as replacement, a genuine part which is the same as original, which should be good for 100K miles.
Changing spark plugs is actually very easy and in almost all cases it's the same procedures for similar 4-cylinder Honda vehicles, cars and SUVs within the same range model years such as Accord, Insight, Element, CR-V and more. Even other makes such as Acura, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Toyota, they all should be very similar.
How much are spark plugs for a Honda Civic? The average cost for a Honda Civic spark plug replacement is between $83 and $159. Labor costs are estimated between $52 and $66 while parts are priced between $31 and $93.
What is a spark plug?
Spark plugs are a crucial part of the vehicle’s ignition system. They provide the spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture inside the engine, creating the chain-reaction that generates the engine’s power.
How does the spark plug work?
The spark plug turns high voltage electricity from the ignition coil into a strong spark inside the engine. This ignites the air-fuel mixture, creating power.
What are the symptoms related to a bad spark plug?
When spark plugs fail, the engine will struggle. The check engine light will come on, and it may appear either solid or flashing. The driver would likely notice one or more of the following: engine vibrations, rough idling, poor gas mileage, excessive cranking time needed to start the engine, and power loss or surging. In extreme circumstances, the engine may stall or fail to start.
Can I drive with a spark plug problem?
The car will run with a spark plug problem, but it's not wise to keep driving it this way. If a spark plug isn't working, unburned fuel from the engine will get into the exhaust at a higher rate, causing problems for the catalytic converter. If the converter gets ruined by this unburned fuel, it will lead to a costly repair.
How often do spark plugs need to be replaced?
Spark plugs do eventually wear out, and failure is most common after 100,000 miles of use under normal driving conditions. But that can be greatly shortened by harsh conditions o

You just blew that debris into the combustion chamber. I recommend using the air before removing the spark plug. Keep up the great work 👍🏾. You’re bettering your skills every time.👍🏾

I don't have a car but I like watching this and hearing your voice bro💯 -Jenna
Great father and amazing kid. Thank you for the video
Wow, dude I don't know how old you are but at age 27, I feel very humbled.
I broke a spark plug. I had to take off a head to remove the broken spark plug. You definitely should use a torque wrench. Sir, you are so young and so smart. Impressive.
Good info, I'm doing this to my daughters 2009 civic this week, I'm adding electric grease
Wouldn't it been better if you used compressed air first before pulling the plug? Had there been some debris in there, it would have gotten into the hole.
Good job mate, keep up the good work and stay away from tiktok!
Brother it would be great if u air low before open the spark plug….Good job…. Keep it up…. Thanks
There are a few comments suggesting better to use compressed air before removing the spark plugs.
Sounded very reasonable until I had them replaced by myself just recently.
You see, there’s NO debris while old spark plugs are in place. The moment you unscrew them, a rust from tread pops up.
I left it there, carefully installing new plugs so I don’t push it down.
Bottom line, I wouldn’t use compressed air whatsoever
Use a vacuum, never compressed air. You don't want to blow trash into the engine.
Is it safe to spray compressed air when the plugs is off? Would it be better to spray first before getting the plugs? Just a thought.
I agree. I posted the same question before reading the comments.
Bought A 2010 Honda Crosstour 2WD 6Cylinders With 56k. It Has Reached 250k Miles Since I Bought It. Had It Not Been For This Honda I Would Not Have Learned Some Mechanic Work On My Own. Watching Your Videos Has Taught Me More And Save Money. Am Thankful For Your Time And Skills. Wishing You The Best In Your Career and Future Always.
Your #1 Fan From Chicago!!!
Where is located number 4 cylinder
I want to fix p0304 code!!!!!
I would recommend using compressed air BEFORE removing your old spark plug. You don't want all that debris going inside your combustion chamber. Great Video though. Keep up the good work!
You should use a vacuum, not compressed air. You want to remove the debris, not blow it down into the engine.
Followed the instructions 100% and still broke my car. If you’re not experience with car repair, drop the extra couple hundred and let a pro do it.
Is that Civic one of the 2010 models with rear drum brakes? Would it be possible to make a rear drum brake replacement walkthrough at some point? It's such a PITA looking job when I try to look at walkthroughs but I'd bet if you made one figuring it out I'd be able to understand it very well.
Appreciate the sincerity in your videos. You don't confuse the individual rather lay it out in a manner most should understand.
This was much more helpful than the 2-5 min guides. Thank you for the nice video :)
you have a bright future kid keep up the learning and hard work
did yall see the size of those wheels in the car in the background gally
What’s a list of tools I’ll need to change a spark plug?
So many bad tips. Hey dad come get your son !!!!
Thanks man, I've done this before on my old golf, but I just wanted a quick reference to make sure I'm doing it right. I have the ass end up, had to do both rear bearings, rotors, calipers etc. Only 1 bearing was bad (very bad it was wobbly and loose, then when I got it off some of the metal balls where out whole thing was demolished. We commute about 150 miles a day round trip so it escalated fast. Doing all the other stuff (sway bar rods, calipers etc) for good measure have put about 100k on it so it's at 210k now. Just doing the plugs Along with everything else bc why not.
After how many miles / kms do you change the spark plugs
Thank you for this video you do a much better job walking through this in a way I can understand like if I was with my friend helping me than a lot of the how to videos one finds.
Thank you so much honestly a cut above.
not supposed to use anti-seize on those ngk sparkplug due to overtighting
Thank you for the video. Very straight forward instruction. Helped me so much.
The ice cream truck song!
What a great professional, well, mannered, intelligent young man his father raised him well and taught him very well. He’s very well spoken.🙏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I changed them in my kia rondo and I don't believe it improved the mileage that much, although it did reduce the sound. But this video is so helpful thank you!
My understanding regarding the plug gap is that when it widens with use it put a little more strain on the coil pack which potentially could lead to premature failure of the pack.
You have great explanation skills ..
For the NGK Laser Iridium 1ZFR6K-11S 5266 plugs, what is the gap?
They are pre-gapped from the factory. You haven't had to gap spark plugs since 1989. If you have a modified vehicle, and it has anything to do with Air intake, Turbo, fuel pressure pumps. You need to gap them. Check 8thgencivic for more comprehensive information.
Thank you. I was able to change the spark plugs on my 2017 Honda civic
How do u remove spark plug without special tool
That Pimpin ride that drives by lol😅😅
thank you so much for this, love how informative the video was!
Hi, do you need to adjust the gap on the new iridium spark plugs?
Honestly, I just needed to know how the actual plug coils came out since I'm not used to them being bolted in place. Figured I'd watch the rest and this was useful as hell, thank you!
this vid needs more views 🔥
Haha, thanks!
Can I spray some WD-40 on the threads of the spark plug instead of the antifreeze? 💨
Anti seize*^
How nice is it to see a young man doing some routine maintenance on a car instead of playing stupid video games..good for you. Better to use 1/4 of a turn..1/2 is to much.
He definitely overtightened it. Tightening spark plug doesn’t require you to use your whole muscle to do it.
@@kylosolo6128 Depends on how 'strong' he is too 😂
I first loosen the spark plugs a tad to break the carbon "film" around the base of the plug. I start and rev the engine momentarily to blow this carbon out. This way carbon deposits are not pulled up into the threads while loosening. I have not had any problems removing any plugs so far but my understanding is that if the plugs are difficult to remove it is best to tighten then loosen alternatively to " walk " the plugs out. My 2c
Why you replace only 4 .... how about other, they are more complicated....😢
This is a 4 cylinder engine. There are only 4 spark plugs.
@@spicemasterii6775 nope 8
Just 4 sparkplugs??
Yes 4 spark plugs its a 4 cylinder car, unless you eant more horsepower then all you have to do is drill a hole on the other side of engine and add 4 more spark plugs 😆
Use a torque wrench.
thank you nice vid
Great video young man. Keep it up.
I have n 09 civic can u tell me what kind of prk plugs should I use thanks
Go to amazon, add your vehicle Year, Make, Model to your account. Search "NGK Laser Iridium" spark plugs. They should be like 40 bucks for 4.
Good job! Do you really need a tork tool to tight it?
No just make it snug usually a 1/4 turn after its hand tight is enough. This kid did say half but I always do quarter to be safe
What is that single spark plug underneath the 4 engine plugs for? Is that for the starter?
If what you're talking about is the thing on the header straight down from the dipstick, that is the o2 censor.
Connects to the exhaust. So that wouldn’t be it.
Nice video, how often do you need to change the ignition coils ?
No one bothered to answer your question so i will.
I Dont Know.
When they go bad. You'll know right away if you need a new coil. Car will run rough & the check engine light comes on. Go to Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, O'Rileys or any auto parts store. They'll put the OBD reader in your cars computer & it will tell you what coil went bad. Easy Peasy
I know this post is a year old but that's how it's done. :-)
