Ralph Werner Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I thought someone posted the torque settings for the oil drain bolt, transmission drain bolt, and rear drain bolt but I couldn't find it in any of my searches. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhitaker Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 These drain plugs have o-rings under their heads or a washer with an elastic sealer and as such they do not need to be torqued down super heavy. A good push or pull with the wrench supplied in my tool kit and I'm comfortable with that. As an example, if the wrench is 6 inches long and you are giving it 30 pounds of pull that is 15 foot pounds. Enough to hold a drain plug in place. Just make sure the surfaces are clean and there is no crud in the threads. I screw the plugs most of the way in by hand. If it sticks on the way in, I'll remove the plug and find the crud it got stuck on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
