Default oil pan torque

It says right on the pan special torque and sequence for tightening. I don't have a service manual so can anyone answer the tightening procedure. Also, the gasket looks pretty good, they can be used over, right.

I can email you the service manual procedure. With regards to the gasket, considering what is involved in replacing the oil pan/gasket, I would install a new one.

Your right on the gasket, the pan is off and clean so I might as well put a new one on (as long as its not ridicously expensive. Thanks again.

Got it, thank you. I ordered the gasket. It says tighten in a criss cross pattern, I thought it had a specific sequence like the intake manifold or a head.
