[QUOTE="terrysig, post: 530317, member: 16855"] but you have to wonder if the herculean type of tightening that they do at the factory has anything to do with the amount of stripped drain plugs. I agree that the spec in the shop manual is too high but jesus H christ the first change on each of my FJRs took the the 1/2 inch socket with a six food breaker bar and in both cases I was worried that I'd snap the wrench! approximately 15 oil changes without an issue on the first FJR would discount it but I never tightened to spec either?
