The problem occurs the following year when the sticker is gone and you forget about the lower torque spec. Not something I'm likely to forget twice, though. Well, probably not, anyway. phhhhhhht ... 'ere!

Suggestion - take a Sharpie and write the new torque spec on the oil pan beside the plug. Should be hard to miss!
