The bat wing pan on the oil pan of my 2000 C5 is leaking from the gasket. I don't see a torqueing sequence in my shop manual and there seems to be a discrepancy of the foot pounds of torque needed for the bolts. Some say 106 ft-lbs others say 18. Anyone out there that has a torqueing sequence and correct ft-lbs?

12 NM or 106 In Lb
I can email you the C5 bolt torque PDF if you like.
Note the caption " Tighten in a crossing pattern, alternating from side to side
Start from the center and work your way side to side and front to back to evenly spread the torque
I would go, 4 to 10, 5 to 9, 3 to 12, than do 11 & 13, 2 to 14, 7-6-8 and finish up with 1 to 15
The 18 ft-lbs is for the upper pan to block bolts. Except for the 2 long skinny bolts at the back of the block, those are the 106 in-lbs (basically 9 ft-lbs.... which isn't much, so be careful)
