I just installed the fumoto valve for the oil pan. However, I don't know how much to torque it. Does someone have that info?


Thanks,

Well, the factory manual says its 62 ft-lb for the factory steel plug. No wonder it was on there so tight. The Fumoto valve is made of brass, so I would go less torque on it. I've just put a Fumoto on my truck. Will try it out on the next oil change. I tighten mine by feel but I know it's not 62 ft-lb.
