oil drain plug - torque

[ToyotaToday]

For Gen5's, what is the right amount of torque to tighten oil drain plug.

[njerald]

Gen6 V6 is 30 ftlbs for your info.

[Camry5genrocks]

33 ft-lbs for your 2002 Camry 1MZ-FE

in all honesty, most specs like this should be found in your owners manual.

^owners manual rarely has torque specs...

per the toyota repair manual (02-06 Camry) 33 ft-lbs for V6 and 18ft-lbs for I4 engines.

I know this thread is old, but what page or section is that on? I have the "repair" manual and I believe this and the FSM are the same.
