    Yeah and what else they say

    Do not use anti-seize or lubricant on NGK spark plugs. It is completely unnecessary and can be detrimental.

    Yeah same here. I would go with what NGK recommends. Also fwiw Porsches recommend 4-6 year spark plug replacement minimum regardless of mileage so if you’re concerned about seizing maybe just replace more regularly. I’m sure it’s easier to do on a truck than a rear/mid engine flat six.

    I've done my 1GEN at 100k and 200k. Both time plugs looked nearly new and like the top left of that NGK chart
