In the aviation world we are taught to always use anti-seize on our spark plugs. I always have and I torque to the recommended value.
Not so in the automotive world.It seems the consensus there is DO NOT use anti-seize on spark plugs. Apparently, new automotive plugs are coated with an anti-seize plating.

Should we, in the aviation world, continue to use anti-seize? Are the threads of Tempest and Champion aviation spark plugs "trivalent plated"?
