Torque Spec

I have a 2008 C6 coupe (LS3). Can some one post the torque spec for the oil pan bolts? The spec would be in Inch lbs.

Thanks,
Lyn

Source from 2008 Service Manual:

Front two bolts M6 (facing the torque tube) 12 N-m (106 lb in).

Remaining bolts M8 to 25 N-m (18 lb ft).

Misc:

Oil cooler bolts 12 N-m (106 lb in)

Thanks for the help. On the M8 (25 N-M), do you know the conversion to lb. in. ? You have 18 lb. ft. Or, should I be using an lb. in. torque wrench for the M6, and a lb. ft. torque wrench for the M8?
