I've got some oil dripping from my drain bolt. Very minor, but I'm curious what the factory-spec torque on it is, so I can torque the bolt to that and go from there.
Thanks! -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

lol there was a thread on ozcelica about this a while ago, it was terrible.
a good indication is just do it up reasonably tight with the correct side standard spanner. (as the spanner legnth is a good indication of how much torque you can put on it, the longer the spanner the more torque). It should be only tight enough that you can undo it with the same spanner, that sound silly, but things get stuck sometimes. its 37 nm (27 ftlbs) This post has been edited by Cuts_the_Pilot: Jan 22, 2009 - 5:16 PM -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r
