Dodge Repair: Oil Drain Plug, oil drain plug, buick skylark


Question
Steve,
I have been changing the oil in my autos for many years. The problem I have encountered is the rounding off of the oil drain plug. To prevent this I have bought a torque wrench. The problem I now face is I cannot find the torque specifications for my vehicles. I have a 1994 Dodge Spirit SEDAN ENGINE 3.0L V-6 MPI, a 1996 Buick Regal 3.1L V6 SFI OHV 12V, and a 1994 Buick Skylark V-6. Can you supply me with this information?
                               THANKS


Answer
The only torque spec I can find is tighten the plug untill it come in contsct with the pan and then turn 1/8 turn more.

I dont have a service manuel for the car here and will not be back at work untill after the holiday. I will try to search for it then..
