Tips for first spark plug change...
Evening all,
So, first off I'm not mechanically disinclined ![]() ![]() ![]() P.S. Do ya'll think the silver anti sieze is good enough or am I better served by the copper version from a dissimilar metals stand point? I've got a BIG bottle of the copper Caterpillar version at work. |

copper is fine as for the rest I think u worry to much or watch to much youtube lol
just remove they should and will come out fine unless they where change before and over tighten with out anti seize ...if u can blow out any dirt that can be sitting in the plug area before u remove them and go for it. |

Depending on the plug, anti-seize should NOT be used as it could cause damage to your car. Check out this TSB from NKG.

I think what they are talking about it common sense its why they may not recommend use of anti seize ..use proper torque as specified and u will be fine in all the yrs of working on cars the once with nothing on caused most problems ...I always use it ...also just stick with stock iridium plugs from Toyota I find they work just fine do the job and last.
