I use a very light coat of anti sieze, Permatex 80078m "Anti Seize lubricant". very light coat on the threads.
I start the plugs in by hand (using the socket and extension but no ratchet handle). I run them in by hand a number of revolutions.
I torque to 28ft lbs and done.
I do *not* loosen and re-torque. I have never heard of that. IMHO Considering that these plugs have a crush washer I think that loosen and re-torque would be a bad thing.
