Kennybopaloo,
You're going to want to take the time NOW, and remove the plugs and clean the oil from the threads as best you can, including the threads in the head! The oil will "cook" or coke from the heat and cause trouble later when it's time to change the plugs again. The anti-seize compound comes in a tube usually, and is like a silver paste, apply a small amount to the plug threads making sure you don't get any on the tip of the plugs. Gap the plugs to .040-.045" per the latest TSB and reinstall and torque as before. ALSO, be sure to apply a small amount of Silicone di-electric grease (not anti-seize compound) inside the spark plug cable boot. This prevents the boot from sticking to the porcelain.
