What are the torque specifications when installing spark plugs on a 2002 Chevy Malibu?
The torque specification for spark plugs in a 2002 Chevy Malibu is 15 ft-lbs (20 Nm). However, always double-check your owner's manual or a reputable repair manual specific to your engine (there were several engines available for the 2002 Malibu). The torque spec might slightly vary depending on the exact engine and spark plug type. Using a torque wrench is crucial to prevent over-tightening and damaging the threads.
