Thanks. But the question was for the pan (oil paand i provided the answer: two stage torqing 3->7n. sump plate) bolts,

n/tand i provided the answer: two stage torquing first 3 lb-ft, in the proper alternating, in--> out sequence, then repeat at 7 lb-ft

BTW, while the factory agrees with your 37 lb-ft spec for the drain plug, i would not apply that much torque to it - and never do. I use about 25.
