Hey all! I'm looking for the torque specs for the oil pan bolts. I know the specs for the 10mm bolts going to the engine block are 10 ft lbs, but I can't seem to find the specs for the 17mm bolts to the transmission.

Thanks in advance!

Tighten the four bolts (A) 12 x 1.25 mm securing the transmission (54 Ibf-ft), then install the torque converter cover (B) 6 x 1.0 mm (8.7 Ibf-ft)

NOTE:
Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the oil pan.

Pilto, thanks for your response, but now I'm even more confused. The bolts I need specs for are 17mm, not 12. I'm referring to the 4 bolts which bolt through the engine oil pan into the transmission.

I believe the large bolts are 17mm head, 12mm thread. So the the threaded part is 12mm but use a 17mm socket or wrench. The small bolts are 10mm head, 6mm thread. When buying bolts at a hardware store or car dealer, the important numbers are the thread size, length, and sometimes the pitch. The head size is typically not important until its time to remove or install the bolt.
