Anyone have the torque values for the drain plug, filter housing, filter housing drain plug.
Thanks

 

No I dont have the torque values. I asked for a manual from my dealer and they said its not available. And to try again in a couple of months.

I have changed oil and oil filter in my other cars. I never bother with torque settings with this. After a while you develop some feel on how much to torque. I hand tight the oil filter and then with a oil filter wrench I give it another 1/4 turn. As for the drain plug dont overtighten it or else you will have a hard time removing it next time. If you dont develop an oil leak you tighten them enough.

Dave,
Thanks for the instructions. But this is for changin oil only. How about for changing the oil filter?

 

He covered the oil drain plug, the filter cap and the filter plug in the above resoponse

 

THE instructions for oil filter replacement are on the FACTORY OIL FILTER BOX itself - i don't recommend aftermarket oil filters.

 

I could not agree more!

 

did you guys buy the oil filter cap removal or don't really need one?

 

You need it

 

Why? I've used aftermarket filters since dumping the FF and see no issues with the filters.
