Spark plugs

When putting in new spark plugs do I need to put antiseize on the threads of the spark plus, or is that unessasary?

I never do, and I've never had a problem. It certainly wouldn't hurt though.

I wouldnt call it necessary but I would never not do it. If your living in colaroado I would definatly use anti-seize with all the moist air.

i never used to do it... until we did a tuneup where i used to work, the sparkplug snapped in half on a customers car..... now, i always put antiseize on everything i own, its not worth it for that to happen to me.....

always. i mean really, its not going to cost you hardly a few cents in terms of time and effort to mimize the risk of seizing.
just do it
