Just a heads up...I just read on Racepartswholesale.com stating that the socket size you need is 1 1/8" ??? From what I measured, it was less than that, might go ahead and grab a 1 1/16" while you are at it (take it back when you re done).

As for the torque spec, there really is not a definitive answer. I have been digging around for about two hours looking and from what I can tell, the general rule of thumb is to torque it down roughly the same torque spec as the factory oil filter bolt. I do not have access to the FSM from my house, but I will gladly look it up when I get back in the office.

BTW... I agree with the autozone comment. I always end up getting more than what I needed originally. Thankfully AutoZone has the $20 rewards program, I cash in on that alot!
