Aluminum anti-seize?
Need to do spark plugs this weekend, and picked up some anti-seize. Did not really read it until I got home, and it says aluminum. I always thought this was copper, not aluminum. Is aluminum anti-seize equivalent, or do I need to go back and swap it for the copper stuff?

A highly refined blend of aluminum, copper and graphite lubricants. Use during assembly to prevent galling, corrosion and seizing due to weathering or chemicals. Anti-Seize assures easier disassembly. Temperature range: -60°F to 1600°F (-51°C to 871°C). Salt, corrosion and moisture resistant: ideal for marine use. Non-aerosol version meets Mil Spec #907E. aerosol – level 3*

If you've never used it before handle it carefully. With gloves. And a tyvek suit. You get one tiny speck of it somewhere that it shouldn't be and it will show up in your hair two weeks from Wednesday.

Also make sure it’s even needed. Most modern engines don’t require anti-seize, and some manufacturers recommend against it.

Most current spark plugs have an anti-sieze coating on the threads already. Usually indicated on the package insert. Last two sets I have installed (one NGK and one Bosch) indicate this on the package insert.

I just installed a set of NGK plugs in the wife's Deville and they were pre lubed. It was hard to see, like a dry coating.
