    I was going to torque it to 35, just a little bit higher than normal drain plug, but then I found out that there's no way to get a torque wrench on it, so all I did was just hand tightening with a 24mm wrench to snug and called it good, no issue whatsoever

    I have one. Absolutely love it. Almost got the Fumoto but this just works a little better with the TRD skid plate.

    Oh German torque spec Gudentite with a new seal.

    You have to take the o-ring off. I torqued it down to 17 lb. No league leaks as of 24 hours.

    Ah, that makes sense. I was so fixated on trying to find a bigger socket to go over the entire assembly, but I didn't realize just removing the cap and that rubber tether can allow a 24mm socket to fit
