The FSM says it should be tightened to 15.2 ft-lbs

It also recommends applying a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads.

make sure you use anti-seize as he said, it will kick you in the butt later if you don't.

I use Permatex. There are lots of companies that make anti-seize compound. Loctite is another that comes to mind.

Permatex has three different kinds of anti-seize lubricants:

Regular compound is good to 1600°F
Copper compound is good to 1800°F
Nickel compound is good to 2400°F

You should be able to find these in your local autoparts store.
