My son brought his 2012 Ford Edge Limited Edition SUV with the 3.5 V6 over to change oil in my shop since I have a hydraulic lift. After the oil change he asked if we could also change the cabin air filter and sparkplugs.....sure no problem as that should only take about 30 minutes and we have 2 hrs before the Cowboys-Lions game. Things have changed with these sideways V-6s and V-8s. To change the rear three spark plugs requires removal of the over-engine two piece shroud, complete air cleaner system, intake plenum, over flow tubing, throttle plate, mass air sensor, numerous sensors, uncouple three ECM harnesses, sensor harnesses, etc. Don't know what the dealerships charge to change the plugs but I suspect it entails a couple of hours of labor at over $100 an hour. While we had the throttle plate off we cleaned the carbon along with the manifold. If you don't have or know how to use a hose pliers, then you are in trouble. I've had to change spark plugs in several Cadillac NorthStar engines I've owned and that is a trick also. Many of these NorthStars never get the #8 plug changed at the dealership as it is a bugger. We got it all back together without any leftover parts and she just purrs so things worked out ok.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
