Please add the torque spec for the drain plug to the instructions. The instructions simply state that the drain plug is pre-torqued which is fine for the first fill, but need reference for future changes. Thanks again for a great product!

Actually, yours are the only set of instructions that didn't have that info! In our rush to get you that pan in time for your track day, we missed that torque spec. Subsequent instructions have been updated to show that the correct figure is 25 ft/lbs.

Thanks Mike! You're the best. Thanks to the extra 20 hp from the oil pan I was able to win my class.
