Yeah, no kidding. Plus with full synthetic, and the moderate amount of driving I do, I get quite a few months between oil changes. Also, now that the plugs are "fresh" and with anti-seize on them, they will be even easier to get out next time instead of being put in (without anti-seize it seems) like last time (before I bought the car) and ran for several years.

It will be a piece of cake, and only cost about $12 each time.

Anti-Seize on spark plugs?!?!

I dont know that I would put AS on spark plugs as I wouldnt want any of that junk accidentally getting into the motor.........but if it works for you, great.... I have never had a problem getting the spark plugs out without much effort either.

I know, it is a mixed bag. Many people don't use it, and many people do. I just put a very small amount on the plug threads about halfway "down" the thread. That leaves several threads (the ones closest to in inside of the engine) un-anti-seized to prevent anything from getting in the engine. With the idea of replacing them every year, the more I think about it, I doubt that I would put any on in the future. I guess it is more for when you are leaving plugs on for years and years that it would help to get them off.
