Searched can't find oil drain plug torque specs

Need torque specs for oil drain plug mostly, but are there any good write ups with all Fit info?

It'll take you awhile to find what your looking for in the above thread. Just replace the copper crush washer, and tighten the plug snugly. If you must have a spec.- use a torque wrench set to 20 lb.ft. but don't forget the new washer! Better yet, buy the Fumoto drain valve to replace the plug and washer altogether, and you will never have to R&R the plug again.
