    I have a 2012 4runner Limited, currently has 95k on it. I'm not the original owner and I've tried to do some research on when to change out the plugs & wires ( Can't find anything on this). Currently the vehicle has no indication of any problems with the plugs or wires.....So for preventative maintenance is it time to change them out or leave them alone???

    Thanks in advance

    Go ahead and change the plugs, there are are no wires, it’s coil on plug.

    Changing the plugs is a pretty easy job - why not give it a shot? You might be more of a mechanic than you know.

    If it isn't broke don't fix it

    Routine preventative maintenance is not fixing something that isn’t broken
