I was digging in some old bitog posts and found a fair amount who use an antiseeze compound on "everything they want to eventually ever come off again without hassle" basically it seems like a good idea!
Some back in 2009 mentioned a Bendix Ceramalube , another fella JetLube500, and many NeverSeeze.

So looking at the NeverSeeze site: Link to NeverSeeze

What a selection! Original (copper), Nickel, Nuclear and even a Blue Moly!

What flavor to use for most automotive situations? Spark plugs...O2 sensors....suspension nuts...maybe struts...stuff like that.

Next issue, torque. My extensive reading has yielded that 20-30%reduction is appropriate but one member with extensive experience and 18k posts said 20-30% off the middle torque value if a torque range provided rather than off of the max torque spec value. I see that NeverSeeze for example lists a torque coefficient k-factor of .130...what does that mean?
