Spark Plug Replacement Instructions

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 3, Xa30 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Spark plugs

Replacing the spark plugs is a maintenance task that should be performed after approximately 62,000 miles: in any case, consult the owner's manual to verify both the mileage at which spark plug replacement is recommended and the type of spark plugs required; start by unscrewing the fixing bolts of the ignition coils, remove the leads, and unscrew the old spark plugs; then manually screw in the new spark plugs (you can use a rubber tube as shown in the video) and tighten them with a torque wrench; finally, reposition the lead and secure the ignition coil.
