Hello, I am looking at a 2014 Subaru BRZ that has 65,000 miles. I have read that it is recommended to change the spark plugs on these cars within 50-60k miles and the owner has told me they have never been changed. How much would it cost to change the spark plugs? Would it be possible to do it myself? Thanks
There are several videos on youtube showing the procedure, such as:

Doing spark plugs on a Subaru is a little different than most other cars. Since the Subaru uses a boxer engine, the spark plugs are on the sides of the engine rather than the top, like most engines.
I’ve never done it myself, but my friends have on their Subaru’s. They had to jack up the engine from underneath to gain access. I’m sure there are videos how to do it, like what was shared above. It’s not impossible, it just takes a little more effort on a Subaru.
