Good video but you forgot that you must use high temp anti seize on the threads of the spark plugs when installing them into an engine with an aluminum head.  The different metals can cause the threads to corrosively bond together making it virtually impossible to remove the plugs next time.

Good tip!

why didn't you tell what size of spark plug socket, now i have all this shit strung out and the wrong size of socket so fuck you is how i feel

Come on... Any one that needs to watch a video to change spark plugs shouldn't be doing it in the first place. They should instead be watching a video on how to do a colonoscopy to them self. Also if you need a video to change an air filter you should be shot. IMO

@assphincter Let's see, you claim to be a welder, but you don't know why the same metals would bond? You're obviously not a welder or you would know that you weld aluminum to aluminum and steel to steel. You don't weld steel to aluminum.

thank you for this video, I bought a 2005 scion xb with 28 k on it ,so this video is going to help me a lot because in the dealer they say that I have to change them when I get 30 k ,it is good if you make a video about change engine air filter ..if you have any you can send it to my email pabloalonso71@yahoo.com ...thanks

Thank you for this video information. I was able to do it myself, saving a lot of money if I bring it to the dealer or car shop. Ed C

When I removed the factory plugs from my scion they had anti seize on them. You don't think heating and cooling cycles will cause moisture or condensation especially in winter? Why on earth would the same metals bond? I am a mechanic, welder, fabricator and everything you said is false. But if you want to install plugs dry and save yourself 50 cents by not using anti sieze go ahead. LOL

First, Toyota doesn't put antisieze on at the factory. They are installed dry. Second, there is no corrosion without moisture, and there will be no water (moisture) at the temperatures plugs experience. Third, "cold bonding" typically occurs between same metals, not different metals. Fourth, if the plugs are overtorqued, they will be hard to remove.
