02 CLK430 Coupe Oil Pan Replacement??
Hi recently had a problem where I bottomed out after a steep bump and cracked my oil pan. I was wondering if anybody had the torque specs for the oil pan bolts so that I can replace this thing. I purchased the new pan and special sealant (probably just RTV Black.) I know to thighten the bolts in stages, and in a criss closs pattern, but if you have any special info that would be helpfull it would be appreciated thanks. Ohh and if anybody has a plastic undershield for sale, I will need one of those...

I am posting a reply to my own question incase anybody else needs this info. If the thread is not pre-tapped the self tapping screws bolting the lower oil pan to upper oil pan should be tightened to 14Nm. If u do have pre tapped threads, as I apparently did it is 10Nm orr 88.512 inLb as was the units of my small torque wrench. I found this info on All-Data. The oill Drain Plug should be at 30Nm and I no longer need an underpan, as I already bought a new one.
