Toyota Camry: Replace '99 Camry Spark Plugs

Yes, get a 6 inch extension and a standard spark plug socket. You should
have gotten japanese plugs such as NGK or Denso, they seem to be better for
japanese cars. Yours will work, but if you're changing them might as well
do it right.

Thanks Max! Any idea why some might be getting oil in the plugs and how to
avoid it?

I agree with Max - OEM plugs (from the dealer) make sense. The 4
banger in my 1999 has a sticker on the side of the valve cover which
says I need to use dual-electrode platinum plugs - While they were a
tad expensive ($10 ea.) I rest assured that I am running the right
plugs in the car.

Make sure you get a tube of anti-seize lube to put on the spark plug
threads to avoid future problems.

A 10" (or so) piece of rubber tubing makes a great tool for starting
the plugs in the holes without much worry about cross-threading.
Shove the electrode side of the plug into the tubing (maybe a slit in
the tubing might help) and carefully insert it into the tube, and spin
it to thread it into the head...
