    Hi all. Can anyone tell me what the oil pan bolt specs are for a C15 6NZ. I’ve seen specs from fellow drivers or mechanics that range from 35 lbs to 53lbs. I would appreciate an accurate cat spec if anyone knows. Thanks

    Thanks SP. I just replaced the gasket, pan, and isolators. I have a couple of bolts still dripping. I tightened them to 35 lbs. initially. Should I push it to 40lbs?

    No I didn’t. I cleaned the block and went up as evenly as I could. When I get a chance I’ll drop it again and do that. Thanks

    Thanks SP. I did see that when I took the old pan down. Thanks for all your help. I’ll let you know how I make out. Give me a couple of days. Thanks again
