What is torque setting for oil change?
 
I am about to do an oil change and I need to know the correct torque settings in INCH/POUNDS to tighten the oil filter canister and the drain plug.
I just bought the craftsman 44593 and its 25-250 in/lbs

thanks !

25 Nm = 18 lbs-ft = 216 lbs inches for both the oil drain plug, and the cap of the filter housing, on my 3.0. I believe the 4.4 is the same.

There are DIY articles in both the articles and How To sections at the top of the page.

thanks JCL.. filter is 25Nm, filter drain is 10Nm, and the oilpan drain is 25Nm also.
Appreciate it. On the filter canister itself had the specs..
I will check out those articles again.
