thunderlax Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) In video 1, the installer greases the threads on the actual lambda sensor. In video 2, the installer greases the lambda sensor bolt that screws into the exhaust rather than the actual plug threads. Which is the correct location to apply the black labeled grease? Secondly I would just like to verify that only the hollowed bolt is torqued to the recommended weight while the actual sensor that finally screws into the assembly is tightened snuggly without a recommended torque weight? Thank you for your help, I look forward to my time spent on this forum. Edited March 5, 2021 by thunderlax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis.Halmstad Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I would grease them both but only use gentle on the sensor, it must not be too much that it could clog the sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member blackout Posted March 5, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yes, use a small amount on any of the threads. Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Hausknecht Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I would think that grease wouldn't survive the heat. I've always used anti-seize; just don't glop it on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely go with anti-seize over any type of grease. For those sensors, it's probably best to go with a nickel based anti-seize that isn't conductive and won't interfere with the signal or ruin the sensor (so long as you're careful to keep it on the threads only).

Premium Member blackout Posted March 5, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think the "grease" is an anti-seize provided by Akra. 1 Craig Mapstone Upstate New York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DewMan Posted March 5, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 5, 2021 I suggest a high temp anti-seize. I prefer copper based. 1 DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
