Default Amount of torque for oil drain plug (from factory service manual?)

Can someone tell me the factory torque specs for the oil drain plug?
A scan of the page would be helpful as well.

(This is because of this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=231475 )

I found the torque specs all thanks to the mighty "Search" function.

BUT if someone can please scan the page from the factory service manual for me. That would be great.

Are you reusing or replacing the oil plug seal while tightening to a torque value.

A new seal ,thin coated with grease, tighten to 30 Ft Lbs. Used seal, 26 Ft Lbs.

In either case, always check for seepage with a flashlight a day or two after tightening.

The Lexus seal will crack and leak if tightened too tight, for your awareness.
