281/365 - Spark Plugs
I finally had a day where I can take my car in to change its spark plugs. The manual says change it every 100,000 miles but my very trusty mechanic said I can have them changed it at 111k. So finally at 113k, I first made a stop at the Glendale Toyota to pickup iridium spark plugs. It came out to about $75 for 6 of them with a discount. The guy said he'll give 15% off to me. Then I drove to my dad's mechanic to have him replace the spark plugs.
I knew it was time consuming to access the 3 rear plugs. I didn't even bother to try to replace them myself. He charged me 1 hour of labor. It took him 1 hour and 10 minutes to complete the job. After peaking at the progress I noticed a bunch of components taken out. When I saw that, I was glad I decided to let someone who is experienced take care of it. It would've taken me an entire day!
