    Tomorrow I'm set to do the first oil change and I tried the search function but couldn't find the answer. Is there a cheat sheet on all of the torque settings for the skid plate, front plastic, oil drain cover etc? I have been watching youtube but most of them skip over this or just use a wrench to tighten. Thanks

    You will be fine with a 3/8” ratchet and a nice snug HAND torque - really not that critical

    Edit: this page has all the lubrication system torque specs.


    Transmission & Engine skids are 21 ft-lb.
    Bumper cover is 71 in-lb.

    But I wouldn't treat these as critical and just snug them up with a ratchet and call it good.

    I just updated it. I found the page specific for the "lubrication" system.

    The only real torque spec is the drain bolt and that's 27 ft lbs everything else is more or less hand tight, oil filter was 18 ft lbs if I remember right
