My friend came over today and we were gonna change his spark plugs. He has a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue, he has a 3.5 Liter V6. The spark plugs in the front of the engine were replaced easily.
The rear plugs are a different story, this is a front wheel drive vehicle, so the other 3 spark plugs are by the firewall. From my understanding, the engine will need tilting somehow, is this something that I can do?
I have a mechanic friend who works out of his garage, and he charges $50.00 an hour, so he thought the cost could be between $25.00 and $50.00
My friend got a quote from Pep Boys and they wanted $150.00 for changing the rear spark plugs.
So is this something I can tackle myself? Is all that is involved is loosening the front bolts and tilting the engine, or is there more work involved? Has anyone done this procedure in changing the rear spark plugs on a front wheel drive GM V6.
