Spark Plugs Replacement

I posted a thread in the GE section about changing spark plugs on a 2009 Fit. Everyone says it's gonna be a pain. But it seems like no one has actually done it yet since the car is still new. I wonder is it the same for the GD or easier? Hope you guys would share some of your experience.
I hijacked one picture from one guy who posted a response. He said most likely have to stripe more than what the pic shows in order to get to the plugs at the back side of the engine.

yeah the plugs for the ge look like they would be a pain to get to. the plugs for the gd are semi in the open. you have a good 10 inches of clearance to put your arms and you can see what you are doing. the ge looks like you have to take them out by feel. i would be willing to be the first to change the plugs on a ge if one of the guys up here will let me.


im close enough i will help you do it if you want.

What type of pugs do the GE's come with? I wanted to change the plugs on my GD until I found out they were Iridiums. Thankfully they're not copper.

im sure the ge is running the same iridium type plugs that the gd is. i just changed my plugs to sr20det plugs cause i couldnt find any cheap 2 step colder plugs for the fit. essentially im running the spoon plugs at half the price and made for a nissan.

Notice any difference in driving?

Thanks for the offer. I don't need to change the plugs now. I am only looking ahead when there comes the time to change them.
