Why is it so costly/hard to replace the spark plugs on a Honda Fit/Jazz? - 1
Added (1). I haven't had it done yet. The dealer says it needs to be done at 45,000 miles and takes 8 plugs costing £225/$350.
Seems high - but I'm not familiar with a Fit. For comparison - I have a Ford V6 Taurus… Needs plugs at 100,000 miles which will be in a year or so. Asked the dealer how much and got price of $550 (US) … Independent garage said they could do it for $350. Reason: all the accessories and engine bits that must be removed just to get at the top of the engine: the rear bank of plugs in totally buried under manifolds, intake runners, fuel injection system and who knows what else - all of which must be taken off then reinstalled (whilst crossing fingers hoping everything still works when they get it back together) Because they are designed to only be changed every 100,000 miles. How much did you pay? Because Honda designed it so you have to have it replaced by the dealer. Next time you have it replaced, tell them to put some iridium plugs, good for 100k miles. You will be selling the car at that time.

- Spark plugs covered with oil plus exhaust smoke? Just got the carbs cleaned and working perfectly on my 82 Honda Nighthawk 450. I started the bike and just a moment later there's a white smoke coming from the engine and exhaust. I took the spark plugs off to aid in addressing the issue and I have found that there's a black oil on them. Anybody have an idea as to what's going on here?
- How to read spark plugs over time? I know how to read spark plugs but over time, would a reading be accurate? Have a Honda whose spark plug is maybe 2 years old, would its reading still be similarly accurate as if it was only after a first good week of use? Stock everything, the porcelain is black, I'm upjetting now with a aftermarket exhaust and filter, should I upjet with if the porcelain is black? With the length of time? Should I try a new reading with a new plug? (Already installed one)

- How to get out extremely difficult spark plugs? My car is a 2006 Honda Civic. It's 1.8 liter I changed 2 spark plugs but the other 2 absolutely can't get out. I had a guy friend whose pretty built try to remove it but he almost pulled his should trying. I need to know if there's anything I can use to get it out. I also don't know if it's possibly cross threaded. It's a used car.
