Engine oil drain plug torque spec 2014

Spent too much time searching. Anyone have the torque spec for the oil drain plug for a 2014
V6 engine 4wd.

 

21 ft/lbs according to the torque value thread on the top section of this page.

 

30 for the V6.

 

Tirty senor!
Or 360 in lbs

 

In my many decades of oil changes I have never used a torque wrench on an oil drain plug, never stripped one or cross threaded one.

With a new gasket run it down by hand and give it a good snug crank on the wrench. Some on here have stripped the plug when using a torque wrench as the threads are oiled and easier to turn. Torque values are for a dry torque.

 

I hope it's not 21 or I've overtightened my plug a few times now lol

I've got the fumoto valve, not my problem anymore.

 

I have also converted to the Fumoto Valve.

 

And too much time thinking/worrying.

@Jimmyh has it in post 5.

I've been changing oil for 50 years, never used a torque wrench.

They are good/needed for engine assembly, suspension assembly (bushing areas) and, well, that's all I use one for.

 

I googled this and got an answer in less than a minute.

 

yep

 

Exactly, haven't had to worry about this in over 5 years now

 

Thanks for all the replies. Never thought to google it. Figured it'd be here somewhere. I don't see a tab for torque values at the top of this page. I'll hunt some more.
I'd never used one for an oil drain plug either & ended up not using one here. (left it at work). I would have torqued it then checked it with the 3/8 ratchet to get the "feel" for the proper torque.
As one of my mentors says "Everything has a torque value".
Haven't looked yet, but where did everyone get their Fumoto valves?

 

Amazon

 

Fumotooildrainvalve.com model F103 is $24 plus shipping.
