Help, I'm in the process of changing plugs, forgot to get any anti-seizing compound! Can us just use a small dab of red bearing grease, just a small amount????? Or do i even need it?

 

found it, NGK recommends no anti-seize compound, put 'em in dry.

 

The Correct Answer

Virtually all spark plugs now feature a special anti-seizure nickel or zinc-chromate shell plating. Basically, you can think of the plating as a replacement of thread compound or copper slip. Here’s what NGK says:
NGK spark plugs feature what is known as ‘trivalent plating’. This is a silver-or-chrome coloured finish on the threads that is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture, chemicals and weathering. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without the use of anti-seize. NGK tech support has received a number of tech calls from installers who have over-tightened spark plugs because of the use of anti-seize. Anti-seize compound can act as a lubricant altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage.

NGK advise people not to put anti-seize grease on their sparkplugs.
