Oil pan torque specs

NORAIN · 12-01-2014, 06:24 PM

I have searched without any luck. And the service manual won't download. I have found 1 person saying 25 ft lbs and another saying 15-17...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

15-17 sounds about right or nice and snug. imo

20-25 is more than likely the drain plug

Per page EM-44 of 2009 FSM: 61 in-lb for the part of the pan that has the drain plug. Drain plug is 25 ft-lb, FWIW.

Are you saying 25 for the plug or for the bolts holding the pan to the motor?
I need the bolts holding the pan in place.
Thanks for the help guys!

Per SouthArk's answer: the bolts you are asking about should be torqued to 61 in-lbs (or approximately 5 ft-lbs).

25 ft-lb for the plug. 61 in-lb for the lower pan bolts.
