Correct spark plug

[Fordgrandma]

2002 Ford Ranger 3.0 gas
Which are correct spark plugs for this truck? There's a huge number of alternate part numbers. I am attaching a pic of what the owner's manual says. I plan to stay with Motorcraft brand unless someone has a better idea.

Does Ford/Motorcraft or KGK have a recommendation for or against applying anti-seize in this case?

Disclosure: I'm a nickel based anti-seize guy.

NGK says never use anti-seize on any NGK spark plug.

Not sure about KGK, but NGK says no anti-seize on their website.

For non Flex Fuel the latest number is AGSF-32-FMX or SP-432X depending on how they have it listed wherever you buy them. They might have it listed without the X on the end, that is the same part. Long story that I have explained in other threads.

Last summer I replaced the OEM's (100k miles) with Denso PT16TT (4511) double platinum on my 2005 3.0. Runs better than the single platinum's ever did. I like Denso plugs.
