Any opinions re: choice of plugs for an 03 S80? The original Volvo plugs have 3 electrodes. Any problem using Bosch Supers? Any other suggestions? What are the gapping and torque specs?

Stock plugs work just fine...anything platinum should work fine too.

This is for the 02's but it should be the same:

Torque to 30Nm (22 lb-ft)

Not sure on the gap...i couldn't find it

sorry if im jacking the thread a bit. What kind of torque wrench would you recommend for those small jobs like this? the ones I see in stores and at autozone don't go this low. What an accurate tool to put in spark plugs that don't need alot of torque? Last time I replaced mine, I just tightened them snug with a normal socket wrench.
