How to Replace the Spark Plugs on a Mazda RX-8

Model: Mazda Rx 8 MK 1 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Spark plugs

To replace the spark plugs on a Mazda RX-8, open the bonnet to access the top of the engine block. Here, you will find the upper plastic cover protecting the engine. Underneath, locate the cables connected to the coils, disconnect them, and remove the coils from their housing. Below the coils, you will find the spark plugs, which should be extracted using a socket wrench. After removal, insert the new spark plugs and reassemble all previously removed components.
