The drain plug has a torque spec?
Actually, if you do it to metric specs, 43 newton-meters! Yes, Tim is correct.
Yes it does.
I'm sure because of heat expansion and cooler retraction, it has to tightened to a specific level.
You DON'T want to be riding and that boy falls out, killing your engine and yourself, by fish tailing all over the highway on an oil slick.

Seems like once you feel the washer crush it's tight enough.
Of course if you're in the business of selling crush washers a heavy torque might have some merit.....just sayin' :blink000:
