Drain plug torques????
I'm a habitual over-tightener!! Does anyone know the correct torque for the draing plugs? Engine oil, tranny, transfer and differential.
This is on a '97 Tacoma, V6, 5SPD, 4WD.
Thanks!!

On drain lugs I go snug+ a bit. I fractured a finger tip removing the rear diff. from it being over tightened. I use a oil plug gasket with copper on the outside and rubber in the middle. avalible at NAPA. It makes a great seal at lower torques. IMO tight enough so they don't loosen going do the road but are not a PITA when you remove them in the future. Numerically 10 -15 ftlbs. No torques specs. in my FSM for the drain plugs
