Also FWIW the use of anti-seize with OEM plugs is not recommended on the 3.5L (but obviously won't cause a castastrophic failure either)
Yeah, thanks for making that clear. OP was talking about the 3.5.

I wish folks would read the OPs carefully instead of chiming in with irrelevant information and insisting they are right.

OEMs seldom recommended anti-seize on plugs for fear of ham-fisted shade tree DIYers slopping goop on electrodes. I think used properly, anti-seize helps offset the other hacks who take aluminum engines apart warm.

But I also think changing non-misfiring plugs is way over-rated.
