96 Mustang GT Oil pan bolt torque specs?!
 

Hi, my friend has a 96 GT, and he lost the manual (idiot..). He wants me to change the oil, and I was wondering if any of you can check your manuals for the torque spec of the drain bolt and the amount of oil to add for a oil change with filter.
Thanks..

I have never used a Torque Wrench when putting my drain plug back on... I don't have my manual with me at work, but if I were to guess, I would say between 5-10 Ft/Lb, you don't need it too tight, just snug enough to not allow it to loosen or leak... Now, for amount of oil, the book says 5Qts, but I have found that most cars don't follow guide lines. My car for example takes 6 Qts to get it to the full line, others I have seen only take about 4.5... I would just say add 5, then wait a few minutes then check the oil level and fill as needed to get it to the proper line on the dip stick.

I've never used a torque wrench on the oil pan bolt either. I just snug it up a bit, never too tight.

i just snug the bolt up . as for oil capacity call autozone and they can look it up on the computer as well as oil weigh.

When they changed my oil today they yelled '10 ft-lbs' for the drain bolt.
