I'm about to change my spark plugs and was going to pick up some anti-sieze compound. However Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1042AF says:
"Use a copper-based anti-seize compound or engine oil on spark plug threads starting two full threads from the electrode, but DO NOT use a graphite-based compound." Emphasis on "DO NOT" is theirs, not mine.
So, that being the case, what does everyone use for anti-sieze compound? Everything I have found contains graphite, even the "copper based" stuff. Is engine oil sufficient?
Thanks!
