Does anyone have the torque specs and other details about replacing the spark plugs in the I-6 engine? Any suggested brand/plug? Thanks.

Hello, I'm wanting to change the spark plugs on my i6 and based on the previous, very helpful, post it requires NGK LPR6D plugs, being an i6 of earlier VIN. I can't find these in stock anywhere. Does anyone know if there is a suggested alternative please? I note that Opie stock the NGK plugs that are suggested for later i6 models. Many thanks, DT
