A Toyota master diagnostic technician shows you how to change spark plugs on Toyota's new engine the A25A 2.5L and M20A 2.0L.

In this video I show you how simple and easy the basic maintenance tasks are on the new Dynamic force 4 cylinder engines from Toyota.

Even though this engine is a very complicated engine and many DIY mechanics have concerns over serviceability but as you can see changing the spark plugs and many other tasks are very DIY friendly and very simple.

NOTE: Always use Original spark plugs with this engine. NEVER adjust the gap of iridium spark plugs. If the gap appears incorrect, that is considered a defective plug and should be replaced. Don't adjust the gap on iridium spark plugs because you will damage it.

Torque specs

Spark plugs 15 ft lbs
Ignition Coil 8mm bolts ( 66 inch lbs or 5.5 ft lbs )

    Not every knowledgable technician has good communication skills. This man has both.

  • I love this channel Toyota enthusiasts here. Hey I got a 2000 Toyota Celica gts with 315,000 plus miles, and the car still runs strong. I am it's first owner and would love to here your good story and bad story's with the 2zzge engine not the oil burning not so loved 1zzfe. Also how where costumers reaction when it was at the dealership. I also got another celica gts build 2zzge with alot of power when running high boost close deck design block. Real fan of Toyota in general. I love all cars but Toyota is definitely my favorite. I just got a 2019 rav4 and just popped a video on youtube of rav4 and great tips for maintaining the engine.

    Wow, I thought those could only be changed by sheer magic in such a crowded engine compartment - amazing what you learn.
  • @oriondragos5876
    Another great informative video by arguably one of the best channels for car maintenance.
  • @joeotto775
    Great informative video. Please keep the A25A content coming! I have a 2020 xse 2.5 camry up here in Canada 🇨🇦. Congratulations on passing 100k subs!
  • @bobbyknox4881
    I love your videos. You are straight forward and honest. And you make me want to buy a Toyota and let you service it.
  • @antouab221
    Always super useful content on this channel, such a nice person and a mechanic.
  • @littlet7556
    After removing the coill packs , I blow out the area with compressed air before spark plug removal. Just in vase any dirt got down there.
  • Thanks for all your videos on modern Toyotas. My wife and I just bought a brand new RAV4 and wet love it. I'm old school, mechanically inclined and looking forward to lean more about modern engines like our RAV4 has.
  • @jy5960
    Feels like it was last week I was congratulating you on 75k subscribers, gratified to see that you crossed 100k so quickly since then
  • I remove the beauty cover off my 2018 Tacoma in the summer to help cool the engine. I put it back on in the fall. Thanks for the instructions.
  • Really appreciate your videos! I appreciate that you discuss both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of cars and greatly appreciate your technical knowledge and experience. You are also very good at presenting the information in a pleasant and concise manner. I will be taking delivery of a 2024 Camry LE in about a week and expect that your videos will initially suffice as my “service manual” for that car. 😊 Best wishes…
