I am trying to figure out the correct torque specs for a 2001 Camry's oil pan. In the event that it makes a difference, the motor is a 4-cylinder. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me. I'm hurtin' on this one.

148 sounds better

^ It's 48 in-lbs for the Gen 3, and it's not a typo. Watch out for the units, it's Inches-Lbs.

why's it measured so weird

BigE · 07-17-2005, 03:30 AM

Inch pounds is a more precise measurement and most larger torque wrenches (1/2" drive) doesn't go below 25ft-lbs. So just take that number and divide by 12 to get ft-lbs. If I'm correct, it's 4ft-lbs. I just hand tighten, but I suppose it could be overtighten or even worst, stripped. (I know of someone who stripped it before.

)
