Default Drain Plug Torque Spec?
Anyone know the torque spec is for the drain plug? Also, can you recommend a good oil filter wrench?

I assumed its for oem filters as most or many are still under warranty.

OEM is 74mm but 15 flute. The 74/76mm dual size ones tend to slip off the oem filters. Definitely worth it to buy the 918 oil wrench socket
