Changing oil in SL55 question??

Guys, I was going to change the oil on my car this weekend and was curious how much I had to torque down the drain plugs and the oil filter canister cover? I just don't want to ove rtighten them or not tighten them enough.

Thank you.

I just make sure that they are 'snug', and use common sense as to over tightening. I noticed that you said 'plugs'... so it sounds like you are aware that there are 2 drain plugs..... correct?

Yes Dino, I am aware of the two. Thank you. I guess if there are no real specs on tightening these then I will just use comon sense.

Had to pop in the service DVD to get the info. Torque spec on the two plugs is 30 nm. On the oil filter cap it's 25 nm.
