Hello,
Gonna be changing the oil my self since the dealer wants $100. I used to do this in my older car, but I can't remember one thing. What is the rule of thumb on tightening that drain bolt on the bottom. If I remember correctly:
1) Screw it in with your hand
2) Use a ranch with basic force until it begin to tightening up
3) Final tight up - 1/2 of a turn, or 1/4 of a turn?
I think it was 1/4, don't wanna ruin the thread.
Anyone knows? The manual says 18lbf/ft (2.4kgf*m) so that's 1/4 of a turn or 3/4 of a turn?
Might be a stupid question but thought i'd ask...
