Torque Specs Oil Change E550
Can someone tell me what the torque specs are for the oil drain plug and filter cap on a 2011 E550?
I've searched all over the place but all I seem to find are E350 DIYs.
I ordered a service manual from ebay but it won't arrive until next week (I'm planning on an oil change this weekend).
Also, sucky or drain from drain plug- What's your preference?

For the filter cap mark the cap and the base with a permanent marker (yellow or gold...) before you open it. Then with the new filter in it tighten the cap back to the mark you made. No need for torgue wrench.

Just replace the washer and snug the *****. It ain't coming off. You'll find that there's probably 2% of mechanics in the world that actually tighten a drain plug with a torque wrench (right or wrong).
