V-10 and antisieze - Diesel Forum

Do YOU use antisieze on the spark plugs or not? What is the recommended torque with or without antisieze?

I need to change the plugs on a '01 X and have read both sides and was wondering if it has ever been worked out which is the correct way.

Thanks

NO antisieze. Antisieze will effect the torque. Buy good plugs and don't worry about them corroding. Avoid Champions. torque to 71-106 INCH pounds. (a little less than 9 ft.lb)

I would use antisieze and reduce the torque value by 30 percent.

I would use antiseaze. Anytime you combine ANY 2 different metals there will be corrosion, Especially aluminum heads and steel plugs. I believe in every auto manufactures manuals they tell you to use it on alum heads

I would use anti-sieze.
