Proper torque on oil pan

[blacksheep-1]

Should be about right...

This is the A** who used to just strip the drain plug. Now what's the excuse, cheap pot metal?

 

[ChrisM]

It's totaled. Time for a Coyote swap.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Righty tightly, lefty loosie. It’s all so confusing.

 

[That11GtGuy]

Wait, you're supposed to use a wrench? I welded mine...

The question is, Which is worse, the over torquing of a metal drain plug or the blowout from the GT350's plastic plugs.

The over-torqued drain plug would be the worst, there are two possibilities:
1 - You slipped into JiffyLube for a quick oil change before work and they show you this and claim it is obviously a defective part - your day-week-month has been blown up
2 - Your changing oil at home and you gave the wrench just one more tug to make sure the plugs tight. Yea, you did it, and you thru the wrench into your neighbors yard.

Tighten it until it gets loose again.

Don't kid yourself. This guy had no clue what torque is.
