Spark Plugs

[nrs2001]

Has anyone every changed spark plugs on a 2005 Subaru Forest 2.5 4cyl?
Look really tight in there around the drivers side.


Do the spark plugs really need to be changed after 30,000 miles?

Not as difficult as it looks. Remove air intake plumbing on passengers
side. Move washer bottle on drivers side. Tools I use were a 3/8 inch
flex head spark plug socket with an insert, 3/8 short ratchet and a 3
or 4 inch extension. Tighten torque is only 15 +/- 2 foot pounds so
don't over do it. Figure about 1 hour the first time and 1/2 for later
times. Mine looked very good at 30,000 miles but, do it anyway or have
it done. I used NGK standard plugs.
