That is the factory recommendation for cars with accessible filters; in reality, the cars that had filters (not all years do) seem to do pretty well on the 60K cycle, unless something got into the tank with the gas. The reason Porsche went to the in-tank non serviceable filter was that they were not really having the filters clog very often; so they went with a cheaper, but non serviceable design unit, as did many other OEM's.

Okay people. Can we end this arguement?

Use anti-seize compound... If theres any arguement about it, you're just stupid.... I know no one that has ever had anything bad happen because they used it. However, i have seen people have terrible problems when they didn't use it....

If you don't use it, you risk damaging your Engine Head, and thats a lot more expensive than replacing a ruined spark plug.... I don't see how there is any arguement about this....

I was viewing it as more of a "spirited discussion" than an argument!
