Lug Nut Torque Specification
I had my tires rotated by the dealer as part of the 30K Service and I'm sure they hammered the lug nuts on as usual. I will loosen everything up and torque them, but can someone with a service manual tell me the correct Lug Nut Torque Specification?
Thanks,

My manual calls out 148 lb/ft, retorquing at 500 miles. I recall receiving an updated laminated tire changing instruction card, but it's out in the truck. I'm not sure what the change was.
Ok, I got curious and went out to the garage. The updated card reads 150-165 lb/ft. Also, as soon as possible after a tire change to check with a torque wrench.

Don't forget to put a drop of oil on the nut/washer. Not the stud. You just want to help the washer spin freely on the nut.
I used a little 3in1 oil myself.
