Default Transmission drain plug torque

04 Lexus rx330, recently changed transmission fluid. Noticed a small leak on the drain plug even though I feel like I tightened it really snug...what is the correct torque setting for this plug. I read somewhere for first gen rx300 it's 36 ft lbs..idk if it's same here. Anyways I want to torque it down properly to stop leaking.

The drain plug torque should be 36 ft.lb (500 kgf cm, 49 N m). Put a new gasket on the plug before you torque it.
