Torque for Oil Housing to Block Bolts

Looking for the torque on the 3 bolts that fasten the OIL Filter housing to the engine block. Cant seem to find it in the Bently Manual

Whats the source on that? I ask because I see a lot of people mixing this up with the OIL CAP torque. Or the OIL COOLER to housing torque. Which are both 18ft-lbs.
