CAUTION  

  • Make sure your car's engine is cold before you start. Spark plugs get very hot – only remove the spark plugs when the engine is cool to the touch. It can take a few hours for an engine to cool. 
  • Check your car’s owner manual for the location of the spark plugs in the engine compartment. 
  • Make sure you have the correct Champion spark plugs for your vehicle. Consult your owner's manual or use the reference catalog at the auto parts store to get the correct part number. 
  • Change spark plugs one at a time – spark plugs fire in a specific order and crossing a wire to the wrong plug can damage your engine.  If you are going to remove all the spark plugs at once, label each wire using a marker and masking tape. 
  • Before starting the job, clean the spark plug area with compressed air, this prevents dirt from falling into the cylinder area. Dirt can do a lot of damage if it falls into a cylinder. 

INSTALLATION TIME  

  • 60 Minutes for a four-cylinder engine. However, the time can vary depending on how hard it is to reach the spark plugs on your vehicle.

TOOLS NEEDED

  • Socket wrench
  • Extension for socket wrench
  • Spark plug socket
