04 3.0i Torque Spec

Hey just wanted to confirm that the torque spec should be 30nm right? This is with anti-seize compound

if your torquing a lug bolt, then no, but if your torquing a spark plug, you should not use any Anti-Sieze Compound especially if it is an NGK plug, as most all of them come with a trivalent coating, and its 25nm +- 5nm, i always do 27nm.

Yeah this is for spark plugs, definitely going with NGK on this one. I've heard mixed opinions on bosch plugs

Does this apply to the 4.4i (regarding the bosch plugs?)

if the bosch plugs have a shiny coating on the threads, then you do not need to use any anti-sieze. lemme pull up the TSB on this.
