    I am trying to find the torque spec on the D12 oil drain plug. I can not find it in my manuals. Its an 07 (the one that uses an 1 1/4" socket not the one with an allen head.) Thanks

    It's a plastic oil pan anyways so I just torque it enough where it really starts to tighten itself. Never had a problem.

    I believe the last spec sheet I saw listed it as 35 ft lbs. Free advice and worth every penny :)

    Dude right the plug till you feel a click they have a torque bolt when you reach the right torque you're going to feel a click on you're ratchet that's enough.
