Just a quick video showing how to replace the spark plugs on a 2005 Toyota Corolla with the 1-ZZFE 1.8L 4 cylinder engine. This is the same years 2003-2008, and should be the same as the Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe and other Toyota models with the same engine.
*Always start threading spark plugs by hand, never with an impact wrench or drill*
NGK recommends tightening a new 14 mm spark plug 1/2 to 2/3 turn (180° - 240° ) after it's seated by hand. That's what I did in the video.
From what I found online, the manual recommends 18 ft. lb. for the torque spec on the spark plugs. There is also a lot of questions and concerns about using anti-seize on the spark plug threads. Using anti-seize can lead to mistakenly over torquing the spark plugs which can damage or strip the threads in the cylinder head. These plugs have a special metal coating on them which will prevent them from getting stuck in the aluminum cylinder head and they do not require anti-seize.
From NGK: "Spark plugs that have a shiny silver appearance on the metal body usually indicate that the spark plug is manufactured with special metal shell plating"
Here's the special bulletin from NGK:
www.ngkplugpro.ca/content/con...
For the commenter that thinks that I shouldn't have used the dielectric grease on the rubber boot of the ignition coils because it's conductive...
From MotorTrend Article: "Despite the fact it has "electric" right there in the name, it's a fairly common misconception that dielectric grease is capable of conducting electricity. In actual fact, dielectric grease is an insulator and doesn't conduct electricity...when applied properly to electrical sockets, plug wires, or fittings with a good, tight mechanical connection, dielectric grease is a fantastic means to keep water and moisture out of your electrical system, prevents rubber gaskets from drying and cracking and seizing, and helps mitigate any dust or alkaline contamination that could cause corrosion and early deterioration of your wiring and connectors."
I probably used too much in this video, but a small amount is helpful and will keep the rubber part of the coil from sticking to the spark plug.
Tools needed:
10mm socket and socket wrench.
5/8 in. spark plug socket and medium extension (6" should be good)
torque wrench (optional)
Thanks for watching!

Saved me $350-$400. Mechanics are literal crooks. Thank you very much
Thanks for the vid. I’ve done spark plugs before but watched for a refresher. Your video was knowledgeable and left me with no questions. 👍
Just changed my spark plugs for the first time!! Thanks a lot
Thank you! I just changed my spark plugs for the first time and now my 06' Corolla purrs like a kitten (idles wayyyy better) Your video really helped me! I purchased this vehicle from the original owner with 154k and pulled original Denso plugs out! I'd say it was time haha. Cheers
Excellent job.nice demo.
Thanks for the vid, really helped me out, almost forgot what sizes to use lol
Thank you. Awesome video. Straight forward.
Thanks for the video because it made for an easier job.
This was so helpful, thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. I just got back from Oreily’s with my new plugs in hand.
Ok so I just left a comment, you liked it and I’m already reporting back that I’m finished! She fired off like a champ! Thanks again.
Nice video, thank you 🙏
awesome vid thank you so much
Great video...do you have any how to change rear brakes of the same car thank you have a blessed day
Informative thanks
Good video.
Thank you very much
Great vid but I can’t find where it says which ones to use in my manual, doesn’t say spark plugs in the index
Is it necessary to unhook the battery first? Another video did that.
What do you mean when you say "it seats"?
Great clear video👍👍👍
Video well explained, gave me the the confidence to say “I can do that” hoping you make a video on front brake pads for the same car thank you
Toyota dealer quoted me
$263.05 tune up
$422.06 brake pads and rotors
Dam $263 pretty cheap my truck was $300

You are the first person that explains in detail how much force or turns to make. Why didn't you add any antii seize? Do these spark plugs not need any?
Hi Ludoviko,
Thank you. Yes, that is correct, these plugs didn’t need anti-seize on them. The manufacturer says it is not necessary to put it on. Usually when you see a shiny metal coating on the threads, it’s not necessary to add anti-seize.
Thanks for watching!

@@DantheFixitMan Yes! I just saw another video by or from NGK and they also explained this! I'm glad because this just means the installation is much more doable for the average person like myself! I ordere
d the exact same plugs used in your video and I will be installing later this week. Thanks so much!
@@DantheFixitMan I think I did something wrong. I used a socket wrench and not a torque wrench because I don't have one. I can't tell if it vibrates more in idle or is a bit more shakey after install because of this. Maybe I didn't tighten them enough? I think I was also smelling a bit of gas? I need to get this checked before continuing to drive again. What do you think?
Ludoviko Peluche so sorry to hear you’re having trouble. I would not drive it until you get it sorted out. Hopefully it is something easy that you can figure out.
👌
Is it necessary to unplug the negative terminal battery while removing the spark plugs?
No need
Well done . How many miles were on those old spark plugs?
Thank you,
I just asked the owner of this vehicle, and he thinks it had been around 80,000 miles since they had been changed previously.
Thanks again for watching!
Take care,

If you use the type that it came with (laser iridium) then they can go about 120k otherwise for the regular iridium go with 60k
I paid my neighbor to change my spark plugs. Car ran good before , but after he changed the plugs it ran terrible. Asked him about it. He went to "fix " it, made it worse, check engine light came on. He went to "fix " again , it was shaking , and sputtering and wouldn't accelerate when I pressed the gas. He told me just keep driving it around itll straighten out. Well now I am scared to drive it. He said sine gasket seals gone.
Absolutely do NOT use dielectric grease in direct coil ignition like this. Only wires and plugs need this, you can cause serious issues with conductive grease in boots.
Just got the car back from Toyota because of this, buddy is service manager and said at home jobbers do this all the time
Do I have to disconnect the battery?
You can, but I usually don't for something like this.
Thanks for watching!
