Spark plugs

Would this interfere? I don't know, but I am just postulating a possible cause to the Lister's observations. This is why I said that it could (possibly) interfere.

I'll go ahead and answer my own question since RF transmission and reception happens to be the area in which I make a living. Using a conductive anti-seize on the threads of a spark plug can in no way cause increased radio interference.

I'm going to print this out and show it to my the service manager if he says spark plug is a two hour job. You know I understand charging more per hour for specialized labor but charging more hours as well is really dishonest.
I'm amazed this isn't subject to some laws.
and of course if they get busted they simply charge more per hour to charge for the fewer hours.
All these Porsche profits is starting to make sense now...

I'm in a similar situation (E.E.) and I agree completely. Anti-seize has nothing to do with radio interference.
