OK, I'm going to give a little tough love here since you are asking questions that would indicate you haven't changed spark plugs before. If this is the first time you have changed plugs, you really need to enlist a friend that can guide you thru the process - its an easy job, but things CAN go wrong. A spark plug insulator can break when removing or installing the plug, The plug can cross thread and damage or even ruin the cylinder head leading to an expensive repair, Wires can get re-installed incorrectly, Do you have a gap tool to check the electrode gap? Sorry for the long diatribe. I just don't want to give advice that will cause you problems. Please reassure me!
Glad you got some help. Most plugs are pre-gapped with a gap that is probably acceptable for most vehicles. Sometimes the gap can change if the spark plugs get jostled around when they are handled, so it's always a good idea to have a gauge on hand and check them before installation. That said, if you have them in and everything is running well, your probably good to go. Glad to help! Cheers!

It would be helpful to know a little history. What was the problem to begin with?Is this a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engine?
4 cylinder engine. I mainly wanted to know where they are located and if I needed lubrication.
Thanks for the advice Pete. I am glad I got help because I thought the spark plugs were located on the bottom right side of the engine, not under the wipers! They were gapped-is that even a word?
