Torque specs transmission pan

Is anyone aware of the correct torque specs for the transmission pan? I am going to be replacing the Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor and do not want to over tighten the pan bolts.

Also, the Mercon SP is the correct fluid? 2004 F350 Harley Edition 6.0 PSD.

Thank you,
Chad

Thanks for the reply. I did not want to do this and overtighten, leaving 50 dollars worth of ATF on my garage floor!

The dealership sold me the LV, claim it is better/replacing the SP.

Changed out the TFT sensor, replaced filters, torqed to the 18 ft. lbs as suggested and all is good. No leaks, no more flashing check gauges / tow haul light. Life is good.
