Default DIY Preperation questions

So I've owned my 1996 es300 for a year now and want to change the spark plus out since the previous owner included maintenance papers and never did anything himself. But I could not find anything about spark plugs in this stack of papers. I looked it up and it seems they are supposed to last for 90k miles, but I'd like to replace them anyways.


what should I replace while doing the spark plugs?

plugs, wires, anything else? Include links!

thanks.

Positive crank vent valve
Maybe valve cover gaskets if they are leaking

If you're going to do your vcg you might as well do your spark plug tube seals.
The rear valves/bank are a PITA, so good luck!

Here's my tutorial for spark plug replacement on the 1MZ-FE:


Also recommend to change wires while your at it. The PCV valve should be left for when the valve cover is off, in case the grommet gets stuck inside.
