Default to torque or not to torque -oil and plugs
According to PTDIY it's recommended to use a torque wrench on the spark plugs and oil drain plug. I went to AutoZone to get a torque wrench and the guy there said it wasn't a good idea. That on newer cars they would 'back-off' if a torque wrench was used. He recommended getting them so they 'feel tight' and then check them again in about a week.

I have a 2003 GT. Suggestions?
