Anti-seize Compound
Anti-seize is a lubricating paste that prevents parts from seizing due to heat or corrosion.
What is Anti-seize Compound?
It is used on exhaust bolts and hub faces. It contains metal or ceramic particles. It reduces friction when tightening. Copper-based paste is common, but some manufacturers prefer aluminium, nickel or ceramic versions, for example near ABS sensors. Many modern spark plugs have a special plating and should be fitted without anti-seize. A thin layer is enough; excess paste attracts dirt.
How it works
The paste separates surfaces and blocks corrosion.
Why it matters for your car
It changes torque values; follow guidance. Do not use where not recommended.
