    Thanks for this. Good video. Anyone on the forum who has replaced spark plugs on a Gen5? I have a 2019 with 130k miles, and I'm probably close to needing to do this. Just wondering if it's more difficult than he's saying. Not questioning him, questioning myself.

    It's not. Extensions and wobble heads are your friend.

    Good to hear, thanks. Dealership was quoting me $500-$600, and I think Denso plugs are around $10. I could buy whatever extensions and wobbles I don’t have and still be ahead. Especially if it’s an hour job.

    This is not to bad a job to perform, But it does help having a good assortment of tools to make it easier.

    Thanks. In that case, I have a buddy with a much better selection of tools. Those buddies are nice to have

    Exactly. Get plugs from reputably source-Rockauto, dealer. Not Amazon, ebay, etc.

    No, I stick with OEM. Dealership usually.
