    300xs maint question

    2007 300xs 1E002730

    just wanted to confirm, the gap .44 is still a good gap for the 300xs engine. NGK IZFR7M plugs.
    I plan to put a little die electric grease in the caps, would it hurt to add a little to the plug threads?

    You can also use aluminum-type anti-seize (most anti-seize now-a-days has either aluminum or copper base compound).
