Adding a small amount of copper grease to spark plug threads primarily prevents the plug from rusting to the cylinder head and in Aluminium head cases, prevents 'cold welding'. The copper content also allows for greater earthing properties and contributes a very small amount to create an air tight seal.

What type grease do you use on the spark plugs?

Anti seize on the threads, and dielectric grease on the plug wire end. Check manufacturer reccomendations as some are against using anti-seize grease. Also anti-seize grease which contains copper could be not compatible(corrosion) with aluminium alloy engine head.

Do you use never seize grease on the spark plugs on ford f 150?

It is recommended to use Nickel Anti-Seize on all spark plugs. It helps you to remove the plug without chance of breakage. I also recommend using some Dielectric grease around the porcelain to prevent heat from making your plug boots from sticking.


How do you change spark plugs on a 1994 Cavalier Z24?

My guess is that it is a 3.1L motor correct?? If so, you remove the spark plug wires from the engine bank closest to the front ( left bank ) then remove the plugs...the rear ( right bank ) is not acessable unless you remove the "dog bones" from the left bank. there should be a small bolt hole under the dog bones to put the bolt that you had removed into it to pull the engine closer to the front. then remove the wires from the right bank and remove the plugs. make sure all the spark plugs are properly gapped using a spark plug gapper.. highly recommend that you use dielectric grease on the insides of the spark plug wire boots to prevent seizing and corrosion, then on the spark plugs use a small amount of anti-seize grease on the threads of the plugs also to prevent seizing and corrosion
