Spark Plug Change-Out: The NGK Way
> Spark plugs are the unsung heroes igniting the go-juice in your engine. Over time, they wear down, causing misfires and eating into your fuel economy – especially important in hybrids like the Toyota Prius and Corolla where efficiency is king.

Signs It's Time for a Change
• Your Toyota C-HR Hybrid is misfiring, especially when you put your foot down.
• Your Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is suddenly thirstier than a thirsty thing.
• Rough idling or stalling in your Toyota Auris Hybrid? Dodgy plugs could be the culprit.
• Engine's struggling to start in your Toyota Noah/Voxy Hybrid? Time to take a look.
• Check engine light's on in your Toyota Esquire Hybrid? Get those plugs checked pronto.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn spark plugs mean higher emissions, and that could spell WOF trouble. Keep 'em in good nick to pass with flying colours.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, torque wrench, extension, spark plug gap tool.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're replacing this spark plug, make sure you've got the right workshop prep, protection, and safety gear ready. Taking a bit of extra time and using the proper safety stands and cleaners makes all the difference for a professional result!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Always secure your vehicle on heavy-duty safety jack stands before working underneath. Never rely solely on a hydraulic jack.
• Clean Hands: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your skin from grease, oils, and chemical sprays.
• Preparation: Have microfibre towels and a suitable parts cleaner nearby to keep components clean during installation.
