[Roadsters] Fw: What is the torque for the oil pan drain plug?

[Gordon Glasgow]

The following is from a wall chart that I got years ago from a local
nut-and-bolt company called All-Metric, Inc. Bear in mind these values are
for steel-to-steel, so DO NOT use these if the bolt is going into aluminum.

Size is bolt size in mm, torque is in ft-lb. Grade 8.8 is equivalent to US
Grade 5.

Size		8.8	 10.9
-----		---	-----
  4		  2	  2.9
  5		  4	  6
  6		  7	 10
  7		 11	 16
  8		 18	 25
 10		 32	 47
 12		 58	 83
 14		 94	133

Dave,

Should have looked in my Service Manual before responding:  Oil pan bolts - 
3.6 ft-lbs.  That's not much.

Still be nice to see the generic list if anyone has it.
