Tools & DIY needed for spark plug change

What are the tools needed to change our spark plugs? I couldn't find any DIY for our car and if someone could list one that would be great.

Should I just get the factory plugs or buy NGK? if NGK, which exact one should I buy?

whats the mileage on your car? are you having any problems? i ask cause our cars come with DENSO iridium tipped plugs which are good for up to a 100k.

If you want to change then you should be able to get any good iridium plugs you want that are pre-gaped to 1.1mm or you can diy, the plug change should be as easy as any other v6, you will need the special park plug deep socket with rubber on top to get the plugs out easily.

There should be a DIY for the previous gen, google it and it should be very similar to it.

About to be 160,000 kms. It's time to change right?

^ thats what i thought cause on my buddy's 05 coupe they were NGK but the FSM for the 07+ say DENSO and my buddy's car had already had one tune-up before so its possible they put in NGK then, either way they are both high quality plugs.

I think from 07+ might be different, I just looked up the part number for OEM plugs for 03-06 G35 and they are NGK. But Denso are not bad either.
