[bangjunhwan]

Hi..I just bought a car..yesterday..haha

I was looking for the torque for drain plug..but I couldn't find it in owner's manual..anyone knows?.

currently I don't have torque wrench..I used to use regular wrench and tighten whatever..haha..

do I really need torque wrench to be safe?..

and what's the model number for OEM oil filter..
every post has different number..I check trough multiple of them.
but I couldn't figure out which one I need.
and what's the washer that comes with oil filter for?

http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/PartDetail.asp?Part=57250 I use Wix oil filters, I can buy in bulk to save money. They are American made and a very good filter. You can order them here and have them delivered to your house. http://www.discountfleetsupply.com/wix57250.html

Bang ... for whatever it's worth, I've been changing oil in all of my cars for 20+ years, and I've never had a torque wrench. I just hand-tighten, then give the wrench a good tug or two. Never had one appear loose when I went back 5,000 miles later to change the oil.

you dont need a torque wrench. hand tight then 2 turns from the wrench. The oil pressure will keep the nut tight.
