How many ft-lbs torque does the Oil Pan Drain Plug require? I STFA and found 40 Nm (29 ft-lbs?)....
#3
Sounds about right...
though I probably put 15-20 tops on mine. It never leaks a drop, and when it's time for the next change, I'm thankful that I didn't put a lot of muscle into it. Same goes for the filter. Besides, the pan is aluminum (soft). If you overtorque, you're going to kick yourself.
