Torquing the Oil Filter bolt.
Changing the oil for the first time this weekend I torqued the oil filter cover bolt to the spec'ed 24 ft/lbs. (33 N*m) but it really felt like I was over-tightening it and made a nice creaking noise before my torque wrench 'clicked'.
Is that normal? |

what kind of torque wrench you have to torque that spec? I'm having trouble to find a wrench to torque that spec in the middle of the range.

I had the same experience and since then:
1) Bought a spare bolt, just in case 2) Dropped to torque down to 18-20 ft*lbs

I Never torque it.
All you need is enough pressure to slightly compress the O ring.

It's suppose to be 25Nm/18ft*lbs.
