Exhaust System: Service Precautions

Lubrication to prevent seizing
Screw connections exerted to considerable changes in temperature tend to seize, making it difficult to loosen them at the next service.
Examples of such screw connections:
Oxygen sensor
Exhaust manifold and turbo unit nuts
Recommended lubricant: 30 20 971 Screw union paste or NEVER SEIZE.
