Spark plug torque: 15 or 21?? Help...

RAVE says 15 lbf.ft, but my Bosch Platinum 4+ say 21 lbf.ft. I set them at 20, but is that too tight??

Just good and tight.
I have never torqued spark plugs, never.
Just crush the washer and then go another half turn or so.

tighten them back up. 15 would have been fine, but now that youve loosend them, the little crush washer is a little collapsed, over time theyll begin to back out
