Spark plug replacement - 2014 IS 350
All the threads on spark plug replacement for the IS 350's seem to be for earlier generations, and I'm not seeing any discussion of 2014+. Am I missing it or am I really the first '14 owner to reach 60,000?
Can anyone confirm there's no difference from the earlier generation? Planning on doing it myself and just want to be prepared. Thanks.

The issue is whether the intake manifold has to be removed to access the driver side plugs. Several folks have said no, but those were earlier models. It appears to block access to the rear most plug, as there's just a couple of inches of clearance. If it is just tough but possible I would rather try than pay for it. Any input appreciated.

it would appear that this was an excerpt from the service manual. Sans some pictures it tells the method of what you need to do. Good luck!
