forgot grease on my plugs+wires

Hi,

noob question. I did not use grease when installing my plugs ~ 2k miles ago.


How critical is this? will things definitely fuse or does that depend on driving style?

thanks

How long before you plan on changing them again?
It is not a "given" that anything will "fuse" together. It is just that it is always...ALWAYS easier to get both the boots off as well as the plugs out if you've used grease and anti-seize.

anti seize i did not forget ever since my DP install experience I dont think i will ever forget lol

i will probably just change them (plugs) out sooner than planned, not an expensive deal.


should I grease the coils as well?

thanks

I like to put a little dielectric grease on the spark plug side and then inside the actual coils. Greasing the inside the boots just promotes them popping off. The wires are so cheap that you might as well replace them every few spark plug changes anyway. If you didn't do it I'd leave it alone.
