Bad maintenance practice on my Toyota Tacoma?! #shorts

Yes, add it. Seized spark plus suck

Aluminum heads don't need to. Cast iron heads use it.

You really wanna get pissed ! Break a spark plug that is not fun

Honda technician here. Do not put anti seize on spark plugs. The senior Honda master techs taught me not to use it as it can actually cause it TO seize. Just install by hand with a ratchet until you feel the crush washer flatten, then stop. No need to reef it on. Install your coil pack or spark plug wire and you’re done.

3 dead loose from the factory when i changed mine.

I put anti seize on aircraft ignitor (spark plug) , haven't had an issues. Usually the ones with zero anti seize are the problem

I've always heard that modern quakity plugs come with a very thin coating of something like anti-sieze from the factory.

I’ve change spark plugs a few times and never used anti seize. Just torque it to spec it’ll be fine.

With the crush washers there should be no problem and I have never heard any problems using anti-seize.

Overthinking it for sure

Really just make sure the thread are clean on the plug imo. Why risk using anti seize. To each their own

I add very very light coats and wipe them off a bit when installing plugs my cars. The anti seize is still there but just barely. Still enough to have an effect. Never had a problem nor had a problem removing them.

If you antisense then reduce torque values by 20%

Yes, just a little bit won't hurt.

I've heard that a good rule of thumb is to use 60% of the original torque value when lubricating threads.

They started coating the metal year ago and the plug manufacturer says to not use it it's coated against seizing. We used anti seize back in the day when we had steel heads. If you like using anti seize use copper anti seize. Throw the grey stuff in the garage. I use fluid film it's a more modern product

the wire on the threads of most spark plugs are designed in a way that prevents them from siezing

What ⌚️ watch are you wearing? Looks pretty cool

There’s enough anti seize on that one plug to do all six, that little packet of anti seize sold at the counter in AutoZone is enough to do about 20 vehicles. Don’t get any below the last 2 threads.

I do all the time now on any vehicle that I work on one time I didn't it broke

just a dab is fine

I would stick with what the multi trillion dollar company that made the truck says … Not some random smucks on utube say that never graduated high school and struggle to pay their electric bill !! 🤷‍♀️ 🤪… Jus Saying Girl !!

nooooooooooooooo

I’ve use few drops of new engine oil on threads and in 40 years never had one seized and it isn’t thick enough to throw off toque

Accidentally ran on this channel and im glad i did this young lady is amazing keep up the great work.

Been using a little dab of anti seize for 15 years never had an issue. Even my Corolla on its 380k mile never had an issue.

In the past,I have always put oil on the threads, then snug tightened. Never had a problem. However, with aluminum heads and longer periods of time between changes…I probably would use anti-seize.

One of the things I am wondering about is removing spark plugs when the engine is warm. Will that help prevent stripping the threads in an aluminum head?

Any time you're mixing steel plugs and aluminum threads in the head, anti seize is always a smart move. A little smear goes a long ways.

Hey Chloe, I would have used a little too.❤u

I have been in garages since 08 profesionaly. I use anti on all plugs the torque is not the problem it is putting to much on and it can drip to the electrode and cause a misfire although i have never seen it

Absolutely, use it !!

Chloe Kuo, what do you do for a living to afford all these parts and stuff?

She's adorable

No

If your plugs are indexed, you want to index them. Not match the torque. Call Permatex, they cen tell you what torque to use.
But I've used antiseize SPARINGLY for decades. The only time I had a problem was when a highly trained certified dealer mechanic IGNORED MY INSTRUCTIONS and shorted out two cylinders, trying to tell me it ran that rough when I brought it in. I just had to clean off the smeared antifreeze and it purred again.
I use it SPARINGLY on wheel studs and again, no change in torque. Decades without rust.

Always use anti sea always.

Both vehicle and spark plug manufacturer say not to do it. It will absolutely change the torque by about 20%. As a tech that started out in the late 1980’s, there was time this was the norm, but as technology and manufacturing has changed so must the “old school” way of working. I no longer use anti seize on plugs, and definitely don’t use it on the brake caliper slides either

Always anti sieze! Then for some reason you become the tin man. Absolutely covered!

Definitely

It's ok to add some antisieze been doing it for years no problem 😊

Dissimilar metals should really have it on there, but, if you use a calibrated torque wrench, your torque values will be totally off if the manual says to torque it dry.

Never need anti seize. Never had problems with spark plugs. U will overtighten them.

I've never not used antisieze on plugs .
Use it !!

Hmmm. I've never used anti-seize on a spark plug before. It's never come in the spark plug box, so I've never had an opportunity to even think to use it.

I've been doing vehicle maintenance both personally and professionally for over 26 years, and I've never once felt the need to use anti-seize on spark plugs. Nor have I ever used a torque wrench on them. One quarter to half turn past snug is all you need.

Not needed at all but do what you want I never had a problem taking a plug out ever

Nope

Just a touch should be fine

I’ve yet to see one reply to anyone here. lol
