I am getting ready to soon do any oil change and will be replacing the factory bolt with a fumoto. What is the recommended torque specification to prevent over tightening? Thanks Larry |

What is the recommended torque specification to prevent over tightening? Thanks Larry I just ordered the fumoto as well and searched yesterday. i came up with 25lbs in a couple posts as recommended, I will do 18lbs. That will hold I'm pretty sure. |

The service manual says 37lb-ft or 50nm for the 2.8CRD, so have many posts elsewhere. We work in nm, so in my terms 50nm is very very tight for a sump plug. I only went ~30nm which is about 22lb-ft when I did my oil change. I have done ~2000kms since this and no sign of leaking. I did use a new copper sump gasket which helps. |
