Why are we changing plugs on a brand new accord?

I didn't change them, just a video.

I notice you didn't use a torque wrench for torquing the plugs? What is the specified torque on a 9th gen I4? I searched but could only find for V-6 or pre-9th gen. TIA. Good video BTW.

16 pound feet of torque or just tighten it the way I show in the video, 1/4 turn after hand tightened.

Hey Fam!
Nice vid. I like how you used a magnet to pull out the spark plugs, but then just dropped them in. That is risky, if the plug hits something on the way down, you could alter the clearence on the plug, rendering it usless.
FYI:
Most socket tool sets come with a sparkplug socket that has rubber inside that grasps the plug in order to pull it out once it is undone and to gently put it back inside.

Thats why I used my finger and slid them in as far as I can. You can put the plug in the socket too, yes.
