Difficulty Level: 🛠️ Easy to Moderate

✅ DIY-Friendly for 2.7L Petrol Models – Spark plugs are easy to access.
✅ Requires More Effort for V6 4.0L Models – Some plugs are hard to reach.
❌ Difficult for Diesel Models – Diesels use glow plugs, which require more expertise.

📌 Verdict: If youre comfortable with basic car maintenance, replacing spark plugs is a simple DIY task. Otherwise, a mechanic can do it in 30-60 minutes.
