Transmission drain plug torque value

Hi,

I have searched alldata.com, this websight, the internet and cannot find the torque value for the transmission drain plug on a 2001 Lexus GS300. If anyone has a service manual I would greatly appreciate the value.

The oil drain plug - 28 ft-lbf.

Thanks Chris!! When my torque wrench got to 20 ft-lbs I started getting that loose feeling in my but so I stopped. I torqued it to 18 ft-lbs. I then saw your thread, next time I will torque it to 15 lbs with a new washer.
