is replacing the plugs alone ok? the honda dealership had advised me that a valve adjustment is also needed after changing the plugs. thanks for the vid and the response.
@ElNoMos I'm not a mechanic but it probably wouldn't hurt to have them adjusted. You would probably hear them tapping if they did need adjustment. My valves are running smoothly, no tapping, so I didn't have them adjusted.
Flysurf: Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful. I had changed plugs before on my '98 Accord but not on the Odyssey. I couldn't see right off where they were located. One thing I might mention which would be helpful was how to take the old spark plugs out after you were done unscrewing them. (I had to figure this out myself) I had used the spark plug wire boot to pulling them out and put the new ones back in. It was a good way to prevent striping the sockets. Thank for sharing.
Great step-by-step video. We have a 2007 Odyssey with 105,000 miles, and after looking at the way the spark plug is mounted (hidden) in the engine, I was a bit intimidated. I almost took the van to the dealership and let them do it, but decided to google the process anyway and found your video...it simplified everything. I will still go to the dealership, but only to pick up the spark plugs and do the job myself. Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing this video.
Just did this for my 2000 Odyssey. Thanks for demystifying and removing any semblance of rocket science. Gotta love it when someone takes the time and effort to show others. May your kindness come back to you!
Awesome Video! I almost went to a shop before I saw this video. I used the NGK factory plugs as well.....I was at 180,00 miles though. Gas mileage was beginning to suffer a little. lol
Great vid. I've got the same van. I changed my plugs this past weekend. It was brainless thanks to your vid. I used Champion 7318 double platinum plugs. She purrs like a kitten now :-)
Good Video! These instructions will work for a 1999 Odyssey. I changed my plugs today before I saw this video.
The difference with the '99 is that the covers are a little different. Actually the '99 covers are better design you dont have to take the main cover off.
Only thing I would add to this video that I did was that I put never seize on the new plugs going in to help with future removal. I noticed the original owner did not and the plugs are crying to come out.
Thanks for this, I was not sure where are other 3 sparks plugs are on back side of engine.I wish you have shown atleast one of the those from back side of engine.
