Going to be doing my first oil change on wife;s 2011 Clubman Justa. What are the torque specs for the Oil pan plug and the oil filter case. I have ft pound torque wrench. This is an interim oil change 5K since last Dealer change. Decided I don't like the long gap between oil changes. Getting ready to go on a hot drive between Sacramento and Boise Idaho and back 1100 miles round trip at 70+ both ways. Will also be send a oil sample in to be analyzed by Blackstone and will be running a magnet through the filter element,

Thanks

According to the Bentley Manual tightening torque for the drain plug to oil pan is 30Nm (22.1 ft-lb).

 

Be careful with that torque wrench. The plug will be well lubricated with oil, and you could strip the threads in the oil pan with that torque wrench. Personally, I would avoid a torque wrench, and just snug it tight with a ratchet.

 

Duh! I must apologize for the my question. I am sitting at my computer and look up and across the room what is staring back at me? My Bentley Manual. She what happen when you get old. Thanks for answering my question;

You also don't proof read and correct spelling. Damn computer

^^That's great. At least you admitted it.

 

Agree, I have never used a torque wrench on the drain plug and never stripped one out either.
