2017 3.5 V6 oil pan drain plug torque (1 Viewer)

[kcjaz]

I'm looking for the torque spec for the oil pan drain plug. I've searched Tacomaworld and found anything from 10 to 30 ft-lb. I found a page of the FSM for a 4L V6 second gen that shows 30 ft-lbs. My guess is that 30 is correct. Seems super high to me but my LC is the same way. Anyone have the page from a third gen FSM to sharw?

That sounds right with a new washer.
I have never torqued mine. I just pull it tight with a 3/8th drive.

with a new washer run it in by hand then wrench it 1/8 turn.

25 ft-lbs is great middle ground
