Today I replaced the spark plugs in our 2003 9-5 AERO 4 cyl. The instructions on the SAAB spark plugs (NGK's) say thread in finger tight then turn 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Just out of curiosity I did one this way and checked with the torque wrench and 3/4 turn equalled 20 ft lbs. Being one who uses the torque wrench whenever the torque value is known I torqued the others. Done on a cold head.
Hope this helps.
Wayne
