Impressions: man that oil comes out fast!!!
It was a lot more turns on the oil filter housing than I thought it would be to get it off. And it was on tight! I torqued it back to 19 ft/lbs.
Put in an LN Magnetic Oil Drain plug and torqued it to 19 ft/lbs oer the little sticker that came on it. After tightening it finger tight; 19 ft/lb was barely a turn of the wrench. I sure hope I did it right.
9 quarts of Castrol5w40 Full Synthetic "with Syntec"
I have saved the filter and will cut it open first chance I get; I am headed to a bday party for my girlfriend's 13 (soon to be 14) yr old daughter!

I thought it was 18 ft lbs for filter housing and 35 for the drain plug???
