What should the torque be on the spark plugs for a 1998 V70. I read on another site that hand tight is good enough, is that true?
Thanks,

I just snug mine down with a ratchet. "hand tight" is too loose. somewhere around 15-20lbs with a torque wrench.

Put a few drops of oil on the threads, or use heat resistant anti-seize.
