Cracked Rear Main Seal Housing installing oil pan stud ....

15--18 ft/lbs seems reasonable. Not enough difference to be important.

I suggest you lean more towards 15, 'cause most folks end up going tighter than the torque wrench is set for.

Went to the junk yard and found me the original bolts. I can confirm now that my year doesn't come with studs. Only for the oil cooler lines bracket. So hopefully 3rd times a charm. Probably gonna order new reinforcement rails so I don't bend the new oil pan. Cuz mine are all warped. Good thing you can still order them from the dealer. I probably end up doing 15ft for the corner bolts and 106 inch pound for the rest. Good think I just bought me a digital torque wrench it'll start beeping when I get close that way I don't pass the torque spec
