What are the correct torque values for the oil filter housing, housing plug and drain plug?
My drain plug is leaking after an oil change and I did replace the brass crush washer.

Are you certain the old washer came off ... doubling them up can create a problem. Of course the only way to tell is to pull the plug and drop all that good oil

I torque mine to about 20 foot pounds [I think it's 18-19 by the manual] and I use an anti seize on the threads too.
