Comments (4)Adding no value here, but maybe some information??? "Sure it doesn't say in the owners manual".. That's not to big a deal, it's the pre-ventive maintenance procedures and schedules that most of the time that gets overlooked. Mowie I like how you listed the torque in in. lbs. rather than foot pounds. More acurate IMO. If am measuring something I would rater be inch off than FOOT! (torque wrench are usually only acturate within + or- 1 and that usually not calibrated or acturate in the lower 20% range of the wrench) For those that don't have inch pounds torque wrenches just divid by 12 and you will get foot pound torque. IF you don't have torque wrench at all you may go by degree 1/8" to 3/8" turn past hand tight....See More2000 Sunfire Spark Plug Removal

Even one would help get a feel for how tight is right for the others. **** Just changed the plugs on my 20 year old car last summer. I too was a little apprehensive because it has aluminum heads. Didn't have any problems. Just be careful when installing the new plugs. That's when you're most likely to goof up the threads either by cross threading to start with or over torquing. Assuming this car has the usual ignition system, might as well replace the plug wires too while you're at it and maybe the cap and rotor. Often times one or more wires get wrecked while pulling them off the plugs, and they're getting old anyway. jmo...See Morebob_k
