I think NGK are oem's but Ill have to look that up. real simple to change the its a 5mm hex to take off the spak plug cover. then 4 10mm bolts to loosen the coil packs. Pull the coils out a little unclip them and pull them out. then use a 5/8" spark plug socket wit extension to get the plugs out. put new ones in an torque them to 18 ft pds.

Just be careful that when you lower the new plugs in that you're lowering them in straight ... you don't want your plugs to go in crooked and strip the head. Also, don't overtighten if you don't have a torque wrench

They have spark plug sockets that grip the plug so it will not drop and will align when threaded.

Make sure they are gapped to OEM, don't assume they are.
