Lug nut torque?

[paris1]

The CX-5 service manual that I downloaded here recently shows the following for lug nut torque:

(Nm {kgfm,ftlbf}) 108147 {1214, 80108}

Does this mean they're recommending a range of 80-108 pound feet? I'm used to seeing a single number (or at least a smaller range like "80-85 #ft").(uhm)

Looks like it to me. I'd interpret the min and max torque spec as 94 14 ft.lbf

That is what I do. Pick the center of the spread.

I torqued it at 100. Normally you will have to retorque after a 100 miles or so. But even if you don't and it loosen a bit, you still have 20 lb slack for it to loosen before it goes to 80 lb (minimum) and you are still ok.

Paris, where in the service manual did you find that? I downloaded the whole thing and spent quite a while searching for lug torque, never found it. I did learn a bunch of other things, like what the Miller Cycle is... Anyway, thanks for posting your finding. I put my summer wheels on today, and not knowing what the official recommendation was, used 80. Looks like I prolly should go back out there tomorrow and snug 'em down a bit more.

Dang, there it is. I looked right at it yesterday but did not see it. My wife would say this is typical. Thank you Paris!

Where did you download the service manual from?

CX-5 Owner's Manual

I have always done the lower end, around 85-90ft-lbs. With that, you get about 800 pounds of clamping force per bolt. I don't see any real reason to go much higher.

CX-5 Owner's Manual is not the same thing as Service Manual

Few threads on here have it, check a few pages deep

I park mine at 87. Had it in for a tire rotation at the dealer a while back, I always check lug nut torque after service because nobody gets it right. Damn nuts turned about a half turn before they locked in at 87. Hate that.
