I don't use grease, just tighten to the torque and no problem....
Hello, it is advisable to put grease on the thread, you should not empty the whole pot on it, a small amount is enough. Personally I went to a garage they did not put any grease and I ended up with broken levers in the well.... I was happy afterwards!
Never grease the threads of a spark plug otherwise it will become clogged with the risk of damaging the thread the next time you disassemble it.
I wonder if it would not be better to add a little copper grease to the spark plug thread to prevent rust between the thread and the tapping, thus avoiding in the future the possibility of spark plugs seizing in the cylinder head?
Yes indeed it may be a good idea! But respecting the tightening torque indicated by the manufacturer it is not essential. So far I have never encountered a seized spark plug. In addition I try to change the spark plugs fairly regularly, it plays an important role in the combustion of the engine! It limits the risks of seizure...
I will still indicate this possibility on the tutorial!
