ML320 1998 oil pan plug torque spec confirmation
Time to change my oil in the 98 ML320. Wanted to confirm that the torque specs on the oil pan drainage plug are 40nm (29ft/lbs). Is this correct? I don't want to over tighten the plug.

Thank you!

It's 30 Nm which is 22 ft. lbs. New crush washer needed every time you remove the plug.
