Default 1999 3.8L Mustang

1999 V6 3.8L Mustang I have. How hard is it to change out the spark plugs? Any recommendations for new spark plugs?

Any recommendations to improve life of the car? I only have 54,000 or so miles on it, but it is over 10 yrs old. I have a CAI and a custom exhaust, but that is all. I have other dress up items but nothing big.

thanks in advance.

changing plugs is simple...should take you a half hour or so.

the passenger side plugs are a little tougher because there's less space, and you'll need to remove the CAI to access them.

other than that, a 3/8" ratchet, extension, swivel, and a 5/8" deepwell socket or 5/8" sparkplug socket , some anti-sieze and dielectric grease will be all you need.

as for improving the life of the car, try running full snythetic oil, (if you don't already), and seafoaming the car ever once in a while.

Thanks. I am looking to upgrade the headlamps and tail lights...10 yrs of beating and moisture has made its way in. Hoping to get the discount code from AMNick and place the order. Looking to keep it upder $300.

I agree. I recently used seafoam like 232 suggested. Mine however is 11 years older than your 99. I noticed quite a difference. If you switch to full synthetic your gonna have to keep using it.
