My last night experience was totally opposite.
I changed real diff first. After all old oil drained out, I put the plug back, set my be loved torque wrench to 36 which some one mentioned here. I turned and turned and waiting for the 'click' sound. The 'click' music didn't come out of it before I actually crashed "too much" the crash washer. I then realized I might tight it way too much. I headlight it and look at it, I saw crash washer was squeezed too much and one side had already extended to broken. It is not leaking yet. But I am worried.

I torque these plugs @25ft lbs .. use a small torque wrench that I use for spark plugs and other low torque fasteners.
looking at the plug threads on toyota vehicle I did not agree with that torque spec.. too high IMO....
