Hi All, just re-installing my oil pan gasket after servicing my oil pressure relief valve (I'm trying to hunt down a low oil pressure issue).

Anyways, the FSM says tighten oil pan to transmission bolts first. Then goes onto say tighten oil pan bolts to 14.7NM and oil pan nuts to 24.5NM.

The oil pan to transmission bolts are quite a bit larger than the other pan bolts, so what am I to tighten them to? Should be around 30ft lbs or so in my estimation, way more than the smaller pan bolts.

Also, I have 2 stud/nuts in the mix of my oil pan fasteners. I see 1 illustrated in the FSM with its location, but where is the other one supposed to be located? And I take it these are the 2 nuts that the FSM instructs me to torque to near double the regular pan bolts at 24.5NM.

Any clarification on this issue would be appreciated. Thanks
