BX2680 Oil Change

[TRUCK3]

I'm ready to start the fluid changes on my new to me BX2680. Anyone have the torque values for the engine oil and hydro drain plugs? I don't have a service manual yet and I'm having trouble finding anything specific on the web. Torque specs on my cars/trucks are in the 18 to 30 ftlb range on the oil drain plug. I picked up a new washer with the filter and oil and it looks like a plain washer vs. a crush washer type, so I assume that wouldn't require much in the way of torque.

Back in the day I didn't torque much at all - now it seems like I try to find a torque spec on everything.

Looks like a WSM can be had here. https://kubotabooks.com/

I don't torque them, but just get them snug.

With so many aluminum pans/components anymore, probably torque is the safer bet....

I have never in over 60 years torqued a drain plug. Just tighten it and you are done. The filter is hand tight after contact with the lubricated gasket, so unless you have hands like a gorilla with the strength to match, hand tight is all it needs. If you need a workshop manual to change oil, then you might be better off leaving it for the dealer to do!
