 I just bought a celi and i want to change the spark plugs but both me and my father were both stumped on how to get the spark plugs out. i know it sounds like a dumb question but they seem to sit kinda far into the head. well whats the best way to get them out. do i use an extension on the rachet or do i have to remove something else to get closer to the spark plugs? Also i have a gt with 100,000 miles on it. Is it ok to start running mobil 1 synthetic motor oil. the car runs strong and was well maintained. What do u guys think?

Yup, I use a 5/8" spark plug socket on a ratchet with a 6" extension.
As for the oil, my ST loved me when I switched from regular Castrol to Syntec(I use 5w30, Toyota says to use 10w30, and if you're racing a lot use 20w50). When I made the switch, I had about 95k, I used the blended stuff for 1 change, then stepped up to the full synthetic. I now have 190k and the engine still feels like new(only replaced a clutch, starter, and alternator). |
