Anti seize on O2 sensors

Is it Ok to use anti seize on the O2 sensors? I am changing out my mid pipes, and I think I should use something on the threads of the O2 sensors?

Anti sieze

It is OK to use on the sensor threads. It is NOT OK to get any on the sensor tip.

Be careful

I used a nickel base anti sieze... recommended for high heat applications.

Also use on the threads of your spark plugs as well as your O2 sensors. Doesn't take too much.

Just a small dab is all you need. I find all too often people thinking that more is better with Antiseize. DEFINITELY not the case. A tiny dab is plenty, it'll spread itself around the threads as you tighten it down.

Everyone is correct, a little goes a long way.

One word, don't let it get close to silicone /rtv.
