No. The nickel-plated rolled threads on this spark plug do not require anti-seize, and they resist corrosion.

The metal glass fused resistor is built to suppress interference. The angled, ribbed insulator is designed to prevent misfire from flash-over.
How can I tell when a copper-core plug like this is worn?
With the engine off and cool, worn or rounded electrodes and a cracked insulator can mean a plug is due for replacement. Misfires while driving can be another sign.
