Hi everybody, I'm gonna do an oil change on my car and I was searching for the torque specs for the drain bolt and filter housing, but I couldnt find it. Can anyone help me out here. Oh yeah, I picked up a new filter and along wiht the spare washer for the bolt and the new gasket for the filter, they included an additional smaller rubber gasket about the diameter of a nickel or so. What is this one for?

What engine do you have? On the 550, the torque specs for the filter housing are stamped on the housing itself.
