Default When doing a tune up

Just two quick questions, I always check the gap on the plugs.Do you use antisize on the plugs,and dielectic grease on the plug boots? I am going to change plugs and wires on my 2006 3.0 soon.
Thanks for your help,
Ed

I'm old & cheap, so I use a very small amount of regular ol' grease on the plugs and dielectic grease on the plug boots. I must be using that grease very sparingly, cause I've got a small can that I've had for over 20 years and I use it on everything that I think needs grease.

No need, but if they're going to be in there for 100k miles for the double platinums or iridiums antiseize is a good idea. Dielectric grease isn't really needed, but for some it gives piece of mind. Use it if you have it or if you want to, but it's not needed.
