- Reasonably thorough 'how to' as far as changing the spark plugs out. Thanks to the earlier posters on CZcams who showed me how first. Some drop outs where I had to shave it down to stay within the 15 min limit. I hope it helps. The dealer wanted $220 to do it - it cost me about $80 and about 90 minutes (including video shooting). This video should cover 2005-2010 model years which are 3rd gen Odysseys. Hope it helps and good luck! Torque spec for plugs is 18-22 ft-lbs.

Belated Thanks. Just replaced Plug and Coil on Cylinder 1 for my 2010 Odyssey - fixing a CEL problem. Your video was super helpful in the process (and your junior cameraman did just fine). Thanks, both.
Hi, I would like to say many thanks for your video. My car is 2005 Odyssey. I just spent around $40 for plugs and tools. I used 3/8 Inch Drive Ratchet and 6 Inch Extension set bought around $18 from parts store and found that it can work around without any problem. We do not take off the front cover, just engine cover. The back right one is a little bit hard since space is limited. We need to put socket first, then insert the extension and then Ratchet drive. Thanks again for your great work!
Great instructions. Thank you very much. CZcams image stabilizer worked great and your narrative was very descriptive. Taking off the plastic shroud looks like it's a "must". Time to change my spark plugs.
hahah, poor camera boy!! after knowing that I can forgive any trouble I gonna get on my eyes. great explanation by the way!! it helped a lot !!
Thanks for posting this video, you help me save $250 since I did it myself!!
Video capture seemed unsteady and unfocused most of the time but your narration helped to keep me on point. Thanks for good info. I have some confidence I can do this job on my own.
Excellent video. Saved me some time and money. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you for your video! Just purchased a used Odyssey and wanted to see if the intake manifold had to be removed to replace the rear plugs. VERY happy it does not on these cars. Answered my question and gave me some good tips along the way. Thanks again. Peace!
Thanks for the video. The video stabilization helped.
Excellent! A few mods. Just take off the cover, that's it. The Magnetic socket is a must. Use two 3 inch extenders. Use the first one to get the socket on the plug and then add the other for the length. Works EXCELLENT for the tight space in the back and easy for the front. 15 mins tops.
Just done a spark plug replacement on my 06 Odyssey. I also had problem on the harness at the back on the passenger side. Here is a tip to get the harness out of the coil pack easily. Remove the holding screw first and lift the coil pack up slight. Now the whole thing is in front of you and use a needle nose pliers to dislodge the harness.
Thanks a lot man!!! Great vid and easy to follow!
Thanks for the video, very helpful.
great video! helped out a lot!!
2 weeks ago I had the coil explode on me. I had to limp van to garage! The told me 1 bolt was missing the other was bent. They couldn't get honda parts that day but napa had the coil. The managed to scrounge some bolts to fit on coil. I didn't know coils needed to be bolted down but from now on I will be checking! $500 later I will be checking bolts!
Thank you very much. great job !
Thank-you for taking the time to make this and share this vid, it's extremely helpful.
You did a great job, very through and will be doing this to my 2006 Odyssey.
Excellent tip also on bringing the plug socket to the auto supply store to ensure it will fit the longer plugs.
Thank-you very much!!!!
thank you for video...i hope u make another video about honda oddessy
good job my friend
thanks you save me money.
6mm allen wrench to get coil plug bolts off! NOT 5mm or 1/4inch - 6mm!!!, take plugs off coils prior to removing 6mm allen bolts -easier to get them unseated. Plug back in before reinstalling 3 coils in the back - easier.
6inch extension (5inch would work, longer than 6inch will be a bit difficult to get in/out on the backside.) 6inch perfect for backside plug removal.
I used a standard strait ratchet (3/8). swivel head ratchet not nec.
VERY simple to do, no special tools nec. takes about an hour or less going at a decent pace.
+chris fettig Good call on extension. On 2010 Odyssey - there is not an allen bolt - just an Acorn nut on top of existing threads which stay in the block. Easier to remove and (presumably) easier to line up putting COP back in.
I need those rubber parts on the back of the engine cover that show in the beginning - any idea what the part number is? Impossible to find.
when zooming in, bring the recorder closer to the object instead of using the recorder's zoom feature. That way your recording won't be moving so much and giving the viewers headache.
FYI, it doesn't matter which coil goes with which cylinder. They are interchangeable.
what is the spark plug socket size?
Does doing a tune-up improve gas mileage
What's the torque spec on the spark plugs?
it would help if you told use what plugs you bought and the torque specs
Good idea. I added it to the description too. Plug should be tightened to 18-22 ft-lbs.
The front side is relatively simple - I wish you would have demonstrated the difficulty level to get in and remove the Coil and sparkplug on the back side
What size Allen wrench?
very informative and detailed video. thanks for the taking time to do the video. it helps a lot especially for DIYers like me. I just noticed in the last part of the video, you were holding a round mirror. Did you use that to find the location of the plugs? What a Clever idea! thanks again!
Did you discount the battery?
Hola cuál es el orden de encendido de la Pilot honda 2003
Who ever is recording this , it's got to be someone that never touched a camera before.
Great video, removing spark plugs and replacing them the Honda has a firing order don’t they?
I brought my van to the Honda dealer for major tune-up including replacing spark plugs, valve adjustment, changing timing belt and water plumb. And I found out they mis-align the plastic face cover which caused my hood cannot closed properly. But they claimed they did not have to touch the plastic cover for all these service performed and therefore the plastic cover must be moved by itself depends on the driving condition. Is that true? I saw you removed the cover for changing the spark plug.
jky. Sorry but I am not a mechanic so I can not answer emphatically. However, if you check out Honda J Series V6 Valve Adjustment (Part 1) -EricTheCarGuy you will see just how involved a valve adjustment may become. The cover is actually quite straight forward in terms of how it mounts to the top of the motor (see my video around the 2 minute mark). Also notice how much of the engine the cover hides. Hard for me to believe they wouldn't remove it to do all the work you listed. Regardless of what they may or may not have done, I think it would be easy to fix.
My question to them would be if I drove the van in with a properly closing hood why wouldn't it be closing properly now unless something changed during your servicing?
It should be a quick item for them so I would be nice and polite and ask them to treat it as a customer satisfaction issue. Otherwise, I think you have every right to flame them on any reviews. Good luck!!
We caught our dealer mechanics lying to us about things they'd screwed up on a few occasions. Usually it's three strikes you're out but for them it was five. Never again. My son is becoming a pretty good mechanic while working on his 94 Honda Accord. I think I'll trust him with changing out our spark plugs on our Odyssey. Dealer wants $750. They're crazy. And they're liars.
Why didn't you use a impact to tighten?
I think you mean a torque wrench? I did not own one at the time but to do it by the book you should use a torque wrench.
good job of disconnecting the battery... I know it's simple... but damn that thing will kick you butt if someone cranks that
Hi Steve, shop manual does not indicate the battery should be disconnected. Do you have a reference? Also, I would be much more worried about getting caught in the drive belt and the electric fans than getting bit by a spark plug firing.
@@krgetler as a general rule... I always disconnect the battery.... most of the manuals I have for my vehicles have that at the top of each section when working under the hood. It's generally a good practice and yes.... keeps fingers and stuff intact ... to be on the safe side. You could also spark a fire if there is a leak etc... just a safety practice.
if you do a " search"...there are varying answers... I just did one. most mechanics say to disconnect the battery and most DYI say it's not necessary but it wouldn't hurt... I always try to be as safe as possible... I wear safety (shooting glasses) when I mow the grass lol
Como kitar la polea del ciguenal
Ok
why didn't you spend any time on the back ones. not enough info
Regrets Rodney. The engine plugs are completely symmetric from front to rear. The process/orientation on the front plugs is the same as on the rear plugs - other than having less room to reach and swing wrenches. I used a hand mirror to see around the rear of the engine to make sure everything was installed correctly.
Which coil is which number?
Back up a little bit!! Lol!
image stabilization is making me wanna wretch
need more space for my big ass hands and tools...
please don't call a coil cops....
Camera was doing too much moving. Extremely annoying.
Like you comment jajaja
Antiseize is not a good idea
Cameraman needs to get fired.
Clyde Ng Hey Clyde, yeah, 11 year old camera man could use some training. Based on your feedback I cut his pay, dropped his dental coverage, and sent him to bed without dinner. Hope the video helped anyway.
Who the heck is your cameraman?! Hold still and quit zooming!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don't let you 3 year old use the camera next time. Can't watch this.
video quality very poor
Have you heard of a tripod? If you're going to produce an instructional video, it's best not to make the viewer seasick. Remember, you're not creating an action/adventure film.
Hey Seth. Thanks for the video pointers citizen. When you have your spark plug training video complete let me know and I'll delete mine. Hopefully your viewers will be more respectful and appreciative. Everyone else was so cool.
