Oil drain plug torque?
Wow! I'm embarrassed to say my google skills and searching here have really failed me. Can anyone tell me the engine oil drain plug torque for a 2017 super duty 6.7L diesel. Also, is there a crush washer/ plug gasket that needs to be replaced? I'm ready to do my first change and these are the last two things i need to figure out. Thanks

My google-fu rendered 1/4 turn past touching
In the real world I use the goldilocks method which is roughly ~ 60 inch lbs (5 ft lbs)

Fumoto valve; never looked back. I think they recently changed names Shop online EZ Oil Drain Valve | OilDrainValve.net
I installed as part of first oil change last winter. I can't seem to find the order but iirc $30 ish with the new swivel.

Yeah, my bad. I just cannot find my receipt, am sure it was FUMOTO now: Fumoto® USA | Quick and Easy Engine Oil Drain Valves. It was part F-111 for my old 7.3L but for the life of me I cannot recall the thread size/part # for the 6.7L. F-316L with swivel is listed in post#5 here. I am pretty sure that's it, and is $33 now according to their site.
I got the swivel version this time around and it's even better especially with the oil pan angle. the valve also tames to oil geyser I experienced the only time I removed the plug...and set it aside for good.

I used the same trick on the old 7.3. Works like a champ!

[Non-answer, mostly]
I'm still rocking a 2000 F250 Diesel (7.3L)
I've never measured my torque for the drain plug.
I'm guessing I use around 15 lb*ft
which has worked well for 20 years.
BTW, I'm always surprised when loosening the drain plug--because I can probably
get it 75-80% of the way out, stop, stare at it, and still not see the first drop of oil!

Thanks I've been looking for this info myself. Anyone knows when a Hanyes or Chilton manual will come out. I've looked online without any success finding a repair manual from a reliable source.
