Torque For Plugs

I just bought a torque wrench off ebay. It's a good one. I specifically bought to torque the plugs for my 2015 Fit to the correct specification. But it dawned on me I don't know what that is. Does anyone know the torque for plugs?

I checked the KISS page. It gave plug part number but not the torque. And I want to give a shout out to the person who put the KISS guide together. It's rather helpful and impressive. I bet you really love your Fit too. Thanks in advance.

Old school method is finger tight, then a 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Did this with all of my other cars.. I haven't taken the plugs out from my Fit yet.

I have it listed in my notebook as 16 lb-ft. Don't know where I got that from and I'd confirm that with another source before using. I have never taken my Fit plugs out.

the removal calls for 16 lbs
step 3 (install) calls for reversing the steps, and one would assume the re install / re torque numbers should remain at 16 lbs
