2019 S65 AMG Oil Filter and Drain Plug Torque
Does anyone know the recommended tightening torque for the drain plug and oil filter housing on a 2019 S65 AMG? Thanks in advance,

Plastic oil filter housing gets installed same as you would a spin-on oil filter. By hand until the plastic is flush (stops turning easily) and just a little more. Not much for torque. It is easily broken.
Drain plug.... Goal is to just crush the new drain plug washer you installed after draining the oil. I use a 10” 13mm box end wrench. You don’t kill it. 1/4 to 3/8 turn beyond where the drain plug is all the way in and you need to use the wrench to tighten up. No need for the breaker bar!
