put just alittle bit on the threads since the heads are alluminum it will help them from seizeing up when you need to replace them again.

Some one put some on my plugs. They fouled out right away.
I just find it hard to understand that you can put a grease between an electrical connection and get a good connection.

You put it on the threads, which are nowhere near any electrical connections....

And unless you like using a breaker bar to get your plugs out, especially the back 2 on the passenger side, you should really use it every time.

Absolutely! AND, I always recommend a small dab of dielectric grease in both ends of the plug wire to prevent corrosion and lock out the moisture
