Welcome

[@user-po1kh3pf6g]

Hi, you added anti seize but ngk says not to use it. Is the following incorrect? 1. Anti-seize NGK spark plugs feature trivalent plating. This silver or chrome-colored finish on the threads is designed to provide corrosion resistance against moisture and chemicals. The coating also acts as a release agent during spark plug removal. NGK spark plugs are installed at the factory dry, without lubrication or anti-seize. Anti-seize can act as a lubricant, altering torque values up to 20 percent, increasing the risk of spark plug thread breakage and/or metal shell stretch. Thread breakage can sometimes involve removing the cylinder head for repair. Metal shell stretch changes the heat rating of the spark plug and can result in serious engine damage caused by pre-ignition. Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental.

[@blackhawks1870]

I seen on Reddit, some employer at Honda shop said you should grease it. I wish I could post the screenshot. Of his installation guide

[@Batstringstyle]

Ngk are from factory fun fact the official honda plug

[@vandiyplant921]

RB is it best to drive the car to operating temp, then let it sit for 2 hours, then once cool change plugs? Bad idea to try to change plugs on a cold car which has been sitting for 2 days? Too cold so hard to remove plugs? Ideally do we want the car recently driven but cooled off?
