I have driven my Z 10,000 miles so far for a total of 32,000 and I have changed the oil 3 times, only using Mobile 1. I have never torqued the plug back to factory specs, I remember reading it once and was curious to see if I had even approached it and I tightened the bastard real good. I was off by a big chunk and It seemed to me that torquing it any futher was playing too dangerously close to stripping/snapping something and actually quite pointless. Even if a goddamn frag went off inside your crank case, the path of least resistance would NOT be that plug.
