I was told by a shop that it would take 3 hours to do the job, and they quoted me $250. Wow!

If you've ever changed spark plugs in any car before, should definitely be less than 1 Hour!

Default I am going to do it as soon my car hits 30k, ESFO.....
are you gonna do replace yours anytime soon? I've seen your DIY here, but I never changed plugs before, and am concerned that I wouldnt do it right.

Would you mind helping me if you have time on the weekends? I could go to your place or somewhere nearby.

Maybe, we could setup a local meet as well

Thanks

Edo

Default It should not take three, but when I changed mine, I also took time to remove the air filter box.
Cleaned it and the pre-filter screen, and replaced the filter. My plug change took two hours, but again the extra time was for the air filter and box.
