Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Spark, Cruze, Malibu, Sonic, Impala, Traverse, Tahoe, Trax, SS, GMC Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Encore, Enclave and the Holden Barina may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The items needed to complete this procedure include a flat head screwdriver, a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet, a 5/8" spark plug socket, a 6" extension bar, a 3/8" drive ratchet and a tube of dielectric grease.

The OEM iridium tipped spark plugs in this 2014 Camaro are AC Delco 41-109 (or GM part # 12622561).

Note - In this guide I'm only checking the front three plugs since this vehicle only has about 15,000 miles on the odometer. To access all three rear plugs, the intake manifold must be removed. I provide written instructions for this procedure from the service manual down below.

Once the engine cover has been removed, replace the oil filler cap or place a rag in the hole to prevent from having debris fall down in to the engine.

Disconnect the rubber vacuum line and swing it to the side in order to access the spark plug ignition coils.

Unfortunately, in order to replace the 3 spark plugs on the rear of the engine, the intake manifold will need to be removed.

It would also be best to have an assortment of wobble extension bars in different sizes and also a universal swivel joint.

Here are the written instructions from the shop manual for removing and replacing the intake manifold on the GM 3.6L V6 engine:

Intake Manifold Replacement
Removal Procedure
 1. Remove the intake manifold cover. Refer to the Intake Manifold Cover Replacement.
 2. Remove the air cleaner outlet duct. Refer to the Air Cleaner Outlet Duct Replacement.
 3. Remove the power steering fluid reservoir (upper bracket only).
 4. Remove the power brake booster vacuum check valve and hose. Refer to the Power Brake Booster Vacuum Check Valve and Hose Replacement.
 5. Remove the coolant air bleed pipe. Refer to the Engine Coolant Air Bleed Pipe Replacement.
 6. Disconnect & remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) tube (1) from the intake manifold & right camshaft cover.
 7. Remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) hose from the intake manifold & EVAP solenoid.
 8. Remove the fuel pipe shield. Refer to the Fuel Pipe Shield Replacement.
 9. Disconnect & reposition the wire harnesses as necessary.
10. Remove the intake manifold bolts (1).
11. Remove the intake manifold assembly (2).
12. Remove and discard the intake manifold gasket (1).
13. To clean the intake manifold, refer to the Intake Manifold Cleaning and Inspection.
14. To disassemble the intake manifold, refer to the Intake Manifold Disassemble.
Installation Procedure
 1. Assemble the intake manifold if needed. Refer to Intake Manifold Assemble.
 2. Install the NEW intake manifold gasket (1).
 3. Install the intake manifold assembly (2).
Caution: Refer to the Fastener Caution.
 4. Install the intake manifold bolts (1).

The OEM part number for the intake manifold gasket is GM 12647263 (also known as ACDelco 12647263).

This should apply to any GM vehicle equipped with the LFX or LLT 3.6L V6 engines such as the Cadillac CTS, STS, ATS, SRX, XTS, Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, LaCrosse, Terrain, Caprice, Colorado, Canyon, Equinox, Impala and the Holden Commodore.

Loosen the single bolt that holds the ignition coil in place by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench.

I'd recommend only checking or changing one spark plug at a time in order to reduce the risk of having debris fall down in to the cylinder or to keep you from misplacing parts.

Gently rotate the the ignition coil back and forth a few times before pulling it straight out of the well.

Set the ignition coil aside in a safe place.

Lower the socket down over the old spark plug and loosen it in the counterclockwise direction.

Try to avoid using excessive force to loosen the old spark plug to prevent from cracking the ceramic portion of the plug.

If you have trouble loosening the old spark plug, try spraying a small amount of penetrating oil such as PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench or Kano Kroil and wait at least 15 minutes or more before attempting to loosen it again. If you don't have any penetrating oil, try spraying some WD-40 and/or warm up the engine for a few minutes to help expand the metal engine block.

Once the spark plug has been loosened, detach the ratchet from the extension bar and spin it out the rest of the way by hand.

Carefully lift the old spark plug out of the well and remove it from the socket.

If the electrode at the end of the old spark plug looks ashy white, the plugs may have been exposed to high temperatures such as overheating or they may be the incorrect heat range for your driving conditions or environment.

On the other hand, if the old spark plugs are grey or covered in dark black soot, the engine may be burning oil and should be examined by a professional mechanic.

(An optional step is to apply some anti-seize grease to the threads on the spark plug. Most spark plug manufacturers recommend that you do not use anti-seize grease since it can lead to over tightening.)

Some mechanics believe that using anti-seize grease on the spark plugs will help prevent them from becoming stuck or "frozen" in to the cylinder head if they are not removed again for another 100,000 miles.

If you have a spark plug gap gauge, check that the new spark plugs are gapped to the manufacturer's specification listed on the box. They should be pre-set from the factory, so don't worry if you don't have a gap gauge. The OEM plugs should be pre-gapped to .043".

Push the new spark plug in to the 5/8" socket. Your spark plug socket should have a rubber insert or a strong magnet to securely hold the plug in place.

Lower the spark plug down in to the well and spin it in by hand in the clockwise direction with the extension bar until it makes contact with the cylinder head.

The dielectric grease will help keep out any moisture or debris which will allow a good electrical connection between the spark plug and the ignition coil.

Lower the ignition coil down in to the spark plug well and rotate it back and forth several times to help spread the dielectric grease.

Try to avoid over tightening the 10mm bolt to prevent from cracking the plastic ignition coil housing.

Push the power plug straight on to the ignition coil until it clicks securely in place.

Once you have done checking or replacing all three plugs on one side of the V6 engine, replace the vacuum hose line.

Start the engine and listen for any strange sounds that may indicate a problem such as a disconnected power plug or a loose spark plug.
