The one for the Ford Powerstroke came with a blue color ring that same color. The blue had smeared all over everything in the box a little bit. I did not realize it was a coating, I thought it was the color of the ring.
I wouldn't use gasket maker personally. There is no mention anywhere of using thread lock on that plug, even in the specifications.
I did find the torque spec for it though - 146 ± 14 lb ft - aka f**kin tight.......!!
