I respectfully and strongly disagree with this statement.
If someone puts 24ft-lbs on a lubricated plug, they are asking for trouble.
Dry, always. IF the plugs do not spin out clean with your fingers, and the threads appear a bit corroded (this is very rare on the s2000) a SMALL amount of wd-40 on the first few threads will help clean up the threads and will not affect final torque of the plug.

I replaced my plugs about a year ago and was wondering i did not have a torque wrench it runs great before and after I did them. So i was wondering I just used my socket and tightened it and stopped when it got just a little snug. Sorry to threadjack just wondering if they will be ok..
