Default Spark plug threads
This my first set of plugs in the car. Should I be putting anti sieze on the threads to keep them from getting stuck?

You don't need anti seize, they only need 18 pound of torque

Put the antiseize on them. I put in on every car because they get stuck.

^my thoughts exactly. Ive put it on all my spark plug jobs. I just thought with a hot *** turbo, it might be necessary.

Just do it very sparingly. It doesn't take more than a small dab.

When you experience the frustration, time and expense, of a seized plug, as I have, you'll always take time to use anti-seize.

Well said. The best is when the ceramic shatters & pieces fall into the cylinder.
