Even though PeachParts doesn't stock the item, I don't know if I'd risk the wrath of the powers-that-be by listing the alternate source. Suffice it to say that there is another (cross reference?) number that is NOT listed anywhere on official Beru literature: W0133-1627356. A Google search will pull up some retailers that list that number, but I have serious concerns about counterfeit parts, and I'd like to use a known supplier of legitimate parts.

For the anti-seize, I apply it to the threads and a tiny bit to the seal taper. My theory is that this minimizes the torque differential between the threaded section and the taper and allows the plug to seat better.

I'd like to find out more about how your car is doing with those mods - but I'll keep this thread on point for now.
Good point on the torque differential. Note that Beru suggests putting the compound on both the threads and the main body (but obviously not the heated tip.)
Thanks again - and I wish everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year!
