While I was draining the engine oil with the rear driver side wheel is up I noticed I can access the plugs in the wheel well, I think I still have to remove the forward splash shield to get to the fardest plugs, I'll just take my time doing it.

Just the opposite: Always use anti-seize, but use it sparingly before torquing.......

Porsche’s TSB is about using non metallic compounds that can reduce electrical conductivity, anti-seize pastes are metallic and electrically conductive………
