1.) What is the torque value for the oil pan drain plug?
I've searched high and low in the FSM and can't find the value listed anywhere. Before I did my first oil change, I noticed a little drop of oil at the plug. After changing the oil, I can still see a similar drip. I'm afraid to overtighten because I've stripped two other bolts recently. I just bought a torque wrench.
2.) Should the gasket on the oil pan drain plug be changed every time the oil is changed? If so, is this a standard gasket you can buy at any auto parts store?
3.) How much does the vehicle weigh?
I can't find this listed in the FSM, either. I want to buy a floor jack and jackstands but they are available at different ratings.
4.) Ramps vs. jack stands. Pros and cons.
Thanks.
