Changing plugs in my 2013 RT and shop manual calls for heat sink paste to be put on plug threads. So my local dealer has the paste, $38.99, enough to do 500 plugs. Have searched locally and no one carries it in small amounts. Radio Shack did but they have shut almost all stores. Question, is this paste really necessary and if so where can you get it locally. Probably on line but will be another week before I can get it going. Frustrated with this machine. Everything is difficult. TIA for any help.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Well, you beat me to it! Yes, I do include both Thermal Paste and Dielectric grease in my spark plug kits. They are important!
Is this the same stuff they advertise as being for computer heat sinks? I'd like to get the right stuff.

For many years I have been putting dielectric grease on the top end and antisense on the bottom of the HD.

Guys,
BRP probably means anti seize grease on the spark plug thread, not heat sink paste. You can get the anti seize grease in small package at auto stores for $1 or so. the grease prevents aluminum and steel from bonding to each other. It's a good idea to use that grease on anything that gets hot in an engine, spark plugs, O2 sensors, etc.

The heat sink paste is made to conduct heat. Anti-seize is not. You want to have the thread contact surface between the plug and engine head conduct as much heat as possible to keep the plug from overheating.
Oops, just noticed this is a nearly year old post, but the comment is still relevant nonetheless.

Any parts store should carry it. I have seen it several in small quantities. Packaged similar to a catsup packet.
