Oil drain plug torque spec?
I have a 2023 Trailblazer LT. Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the oil drain plug?

No torque spec, just turn to close and lock. Make sure you use an allen head and not a 3/8" ratchet so you don't crack the plastic plug.
Thanks for the reply. Mine is not a plastic plug though. It’s a tradition plug that takes a torx bit. The oil pan is also made of metal and not plastic like I’ve seen in the forums. Took me by surprise when I went under the car to get a look to have everything ready for an oil change.
1.2 engine? If so the torque spec is 18 ft lbs. Thought you had the 1.3, my bad.Thanks for the reply. Mine is not a plastic plug though. It’s a tradition plug that takes a torx bit.

Regardless ratchet or not, just turn untill it stops, once it stops you are good. Not a regular plug lolNo torque spec, just turn to close and lock. Make sure you use an allen head and not a 3/8" ratchet so you don't crack the plastic plug.
