I am going to change my plugs this weekend and I wanted to double check a few things. Car is a 2017 with 54,000 miles.
- I believe correct part number is SP548 from motorcraft. Correct?
- I have both nickel and aluminum anti seizes. I read a lot of conflicting info online about using these. First and foremost, do the motorcraft spark plugs have nickel coating on them and dont need this? Should I use them and which one?
- I am going to apply dielectric grease to the tips. But I am not sure what tips mean, is it the entire section post the nut or just the very tip?
- I bought several different kinds of sockets, with or without thin wall, magnetic ones or ones with rubber. I even bought a special ratchet which is angled to reach the passenger side rear most cylinder. I have gapping tools. Is there anything else I would need?
- Does the cross brace over the engine need to come off?
- Any other installation notes worth noting?
Also do these plugs have a tendency to break? I am going to go extremely easy but is there anything I should do specifically for this purpose?
