As for anti-seize on spark plugs, I use it. If you choose not to, that's fine. The factory didn't use it.

Anti-sieze isn't required for spark plugs as you should be changing them on a regular basis. Still, nothing says you shouldn't use it. Or does it say so somewhere?
Cheers,
Jim

Before joining this forum I had never heard of, and never used anti-seize on spark plugs. 35+ years and I never had trouble removing them, but I notice that this forum ( somewhere ? ) recommends using anti- seize on spark plugs. So tommorow when I buy new plugs for my Mini I’ll also buy some anti-seize compound. Not copper that we use for brakes , but the other quality stuff ( sorry , but I just can’t remember the name. My question is , how lightly do I apply it, and will it affect my torque value ( being a lubricant ) ? Or do I NOT use any as long as I torque my plugs ? Finally, is this a special case where all Minis need anti-seize on the plugs or they will bite you when you want to remove them ?
Thanks everyone, Darren.
