The 2006 Mercury Milan uses coil packs instead of a standard distributor and plug wires.
Open the hood and on the top of the engine you'll see the coil packs that look like little black square boxes with a round rubber circle under them. Look on the upper left hand side of it and you'll see a silver color bolt that takes an 8mm socket wrench to loosen. So loosen the bolt and pull up on the coil pack and you'll pull it out and off to the side. Now you need a 3/8th socket wrench, a 5 or 6 inch extension piece and a spark plug socket.
The plugs are way down deep which is why you need the socket wrench extension, make sure you turn it counter clockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. When putting new plugs in the head, NEVER tighten them down rock hard. Put just enough pressure to get a snug fit, same goes for putting on a new oil filter...do NOT over tighten them.
