    Does anyone know how much torque the oil filter base bolts on my 2018 3.5 Tacoma need? I just changed the seal because I had to remove the entire piece when changing the rack and pinion, but I'm still leaking oil from the oil cooler. I just put a new gasket on it but it's still leaking oil. I can't find any information on how much torque those bolts need. Does anyone know?

    It is not the oil cooler, it is the base that is screwed to the block, it has 3 screws and it is the seal through which the oil passes.

    The torque of those screws is what I need, it is the one that comes with the oil cooler. Do you know what the torque is and the order in which the screws have to be torqued?

    The rectangle box is the torque spec. Last number is what you’re after. 15 in this case
