Oil drain plug torque spec?

[jeffismrmom]

Anyone know the oil drain plug torque spec for second generation Mazda5's? A/T drain plug too?

Thanks.

I found the answer to my question, if anybody is interested:

According to the Amsoil site and a BITOG member w/a factory service manual (CX-7): 23-30 ft pounds.

O/T: My thread on BITOG seems to have started some arguing using torque wrenches; I'm just standing back and eating popcorn.

Seems like a lot, I only put mine to about 15ft/lbs.

Post a link to the drama, I've got some chips and dip ready
