Never use any type of chemical on the 02 sensor. That will mess it up. Don't use anything. Just screw it in. Teflon tape would last maybe 10-15 seconds before it burns away.

Don't worry about sealing the thread with a sealant, since there is a gasket washer installed on the sensor just like gasketed spark plugs. Just apply a little extra anti-seize to the threads only and screw it.

i like the lead based anti seize instead of the silver kind. little harder to find but i think it works better.
