I just did this tonight. I made a short video explaining what you need to do it without jacking up the engine.
Hope this helps someone. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4DTojPr6-0&t=3s"]BRZ Spark Plug Change - YouTube[/ame] |

so, just got a call from dealer. im at 90k km and I wanted to get the spark plugs done. the dealer said that scion messed the change cycle up, and toyota has upped it to like 180/190 thousand km due to the type of spark plugs used. they are in process of changing this info internally in the maintenance schedule.
your thoughts on this? |

Sounds reasonable to me. Most cars with iridium plugs are speced around 100k miles. |

I would check with corporate. According to Toyota Canada website for MY2018 (and Toyota USA fwiw) they are still due at 60,000 miles/96,000km https://www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/my-t...nance-schedule It's on page 39 here for USA models https://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/docu...T-MMS-1786.pdf |

For anyone coming across this thread recently, why is the obvious answer here not aftermarket shops? Like Rigo Garage or Patterson Performance where I'm at in El Paso. Almost any major city has shops like this, and lucky for me Patterson specializes in boxer engines. Just do some research. If you don't want to go the dealer route (who would?) and don't have the time/tools to rock it yourself, it's the blatantly clear option.

I just did a writeup on this after changing mine.
https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148914 It's not the best because I was in a hurry, and I just took whatever pics I could. |
