    Anyone know what the proper torque value is for the oil drain bolt and oil filter? Doing an oil change soon and will need that information. I did look in the manual and could not find it.
    Thanks.:)

    The answer for the oil filter is normally on the side of the filter. They will either say "hand tighten only" or "after the rubber gasket contacts the seat to make one complete revolution". Be sure to check for leaks after adding oil and restarting engine.
