Ask your dealer if they will do that for you.
Cheap Cycle Parts has 90ml of the part number I gave for about $39. That would probably do quite a few plugs.

As you can see, the lower the line is on the graph, the more capable the compound is to transfer heat.

changing spark plugs on 2014 rt limited Your Message
This paste is also known as "Heat Sink Compound", it's use in tv's with power transistors and chips for the same purpose as BRP are saying, but given the fact that spark plugs are screwed in and tightened, I can't see where metal to metal contact can be improved with this compound, I think it's BRP being OTT like they are with everything else like loctite. The rattling clanking heap of the 1330 engine can hardly be described as quality so I don't know what all the fuss is about. My 1330 runs well but sounds like 2 skeletons tap dancing in a biscuit tin.

Yes, the spark plugs are screwed in and you're probably correct that application of thermal paste is not going to improve the metal to metal heat transfer rate. However, there are voids between the treads where there is no direct metal to metal contact at all. It is these voids that the thermal paste fills, effectively creating a much larger contact/surface area through which heat transfer can take place. With the sensitivity of the anti-knock sensors and the related actions which will be taken by the computer to prevent pre-ignition (all negative in respect to engine performance, power and fuel mileage). I'm not sure that BRP is being OTT on this one.
