Spark Plug Torque

It appears the search function is not working.
Does anyone know the torque spec for spark plugs?

Search is only for donating Maxima.org members...
A good measure is to tighten spark plugs to significant resitance by hand (meaning with ratchet), then about one quarter turn thereafter. Do not forget the anti-seize compound (put on the threads).

The torque specs is in the car owner manual. I don't remember the range, but 18 ft lbs should be fine.

The FSM spec is 14-22 ft lbs, so I always do 18.
