The canister is plastic so torque wrench is a good idea. 19 lb/ft.

Drain plug is 37 lb/ft.

The amount of oil that drains after you think it is done amazed me. As it trickled out a drop at time I put a beer can underneath to collect the dregs. As you might guess that can had overflowed overnite by a lot. Cat litter to the rescue!
