4.0 v6 1gr-fe spark plug change instructions
This is the best write up I have found for changing the spark plugs on this engine. I hope it helps.

Yes, this is very clear.
I find there are fewer items to remove for the 4runner v-6: It is sufficient to just unclip the intake at the filter access and swing it away to access the passenger side plugs. For the driver's side plugs, the upper bracket bolt needs to be removed and the lower bolt loosened. No harness clip or hose needs to be removed as shown. |
Replace the sparkplugs every 30K miles? I thought they last longer than that. I don't remember the #.

How to video - change spark pkugs
How to change spark plugs - Toyota 4Runner 2006 - YouTube
Watch this before taking your 4runner to the dealer and save yourself some money! A quick and simple video I shot while changing the spark plugs on my 2006 Toyota 4runner, Sport Edition, V6. This should apply to 2003-2009 4runners and most Tacoma trucks (same years, I think). Its pretty simple to do, with the right tools and an hour or two, you can save yourself some cash. Enjoy! |

Spark plug replacement You Tube video
Thanks RGates. Just the video I needed.

Know this is an old post, but it was most helpful to me. I have changed a lot of plugs, but have learned at my age that even tho I can feel my way through a new project, it saves time and headaches to learn from others before starting,
This is a great instruction.... very helpful. I would definitely advise getting a secure attachment on the extension and plug. I lost one in another vehicle some time ago and had the dickens of time getting it out... |
5th Gen change spark plugs - EASY
I know this is an old thread. But thinking this may help for first group of 5th Gen consumer :-)
I just changed all 6 spark plugs on my 2010 4runner limited (1st year 5th Gen I believe). You may now can find some video on youtube to guide you to do so. But someone ask you to take out entire air intake compartment. It's actually not that complicated. I can confirm here, you don't need to remove anything to get the job done. Passenger side is very easy. Take it as an hands-on training course. you will be professional by the time when you finish the passenger side. It is trickier on driver's side, especially the inner one. But IT CAN BE DONE without removing any compartment. Unplug the electrical cable actually is the hardest part. I use a tiny screw driver to help myself. You also want to make sure you do not drop any bolts, small tools, etc, under the hood. Cheers, |

So would using them extend the interval, or should plugs still be changed out after 30k miles? |
