i like fun as much as anyone. But when it’s fast approaching midnight and my hands are soaked in oil I just want the torque specs pronto I can’t read through dozens of posts trying to find it. I did find it but it was in my hanes Manual (aka haze-manual for lack of details). More power to ya and less oil on my garage floor.

14 years of 944-ing, a torque wrench has never come close to my oil plug.
mine has a 15mm hex head and i just give it a real good shove once it bottoms out on the crush gasket.
never a leak...from there![hiha](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/roflmao.gif)
44lbft seems crazy high, IMO, even though it's a large thread, it's aluminum plug into aluminum pan...

I've used the 44 ft/lbs listed in the Haynes manual, and the same that's listed in the Tech Specs for the 928 for many years.
It's 'snug but not super tight'.
I tend to use a torque wrench on a lot of stuff (just about anything that I can find a spec on).
