Default Oil Change drain plug and filter torque settings

Anyone know these values. I plan to do my own oil and filter changes.
Also, anyone have picture of drain plug on sump and oil filter housing?

I never torqued the engine oil plug. Just do it by feel. Not too tight or you will have a hard time taking it off next time. After a while, you will know how much to apply. If in doubt, test the tightness of the nut after a week or so.

As for the filter, tighten it by hand and then using a filter wrench give it a quarter turn. That should be enough.
