In this video I show the process for replacing the spark plugs on a 2012-2016 Honda CR-V (shown on a 2013 EX-L). It is a very simple procedure - if you can change your oil you can do this. The local dealer wanted $250 for this service, but it can be done in your own garage for $50 in parts in under half an hour.

If you are familiar with changing spark plugs on 4 cylinder Hondas, this will be exactly the same process. I had 103k on the odometer when performing this service, which is the first time it came up on the Maintenance Minder. The MM called for a B14 service, the "4" being for the spark plugs. The used spark plugs looked okay, probably had some life left in them still, but ~100k seems like an appropriate service interval for plugs on the CRV.
