Can anyone confirm the torque specifications for the front and rear drain/fill plugs on a 2018 Mercedes S560 W222 4MATIC?
It would be great guys if a PDF can be shared from WIS
VIN "WDD2221861A379791"

Oddly enough, this one-page WIS doc mentions but does not provide the torque spec ? With sealant on the plug as shown I'm sure it wouldn't need to be terribly tight

Correct answer is as snug as you can get it without pain while pulling on a 12" spanner. Tapered threads on the fill plug generally. Where it uses a gasket same torque as used for an engine oil drain plug.... AKA less than so many apply. Just need to crush the drain plug gasket; not strip out the threads.

Just snug it real good, not super tight, just real good.
