I was able to change the plugs myself. I am no mechanic so this is a small victory for me! Make sure you have a 6 inch socket extension, 5/8 inch spark plug socket and a 10 mm socket to get the coil off. i had to remove the air filter housing and hose to get access to the passenger side plugs which was easy. Also, on the driver side closest to the steering wheel I needed to just loosen some electrical housing (not remove it) to get a little wiggle room to get the coil out and socket extension in.

 

Overall easy and not much cussing!

 

Hope this helps someone else give it a try

OK - I change the oil myself and thought I'd be able to handle this. I'll call the dealer for a quote - keep you posted.

Are the spark plugs an easy change? I am at 60,000 and think a spark plug replacement will help her out. Just wanted to check and see if there are issues or advise on how to do this service myself.

 

Thanks
