todd92 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Never used a torque wrench for a drain plug or an oil filter. Crush washers are reusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you This is the first article I found doing a Google search. I think you'll find everything you need to do a proper oil change on your fathers Edge. 2015 - 2019 Edge Oil Change Guide. PS. I use a torque wrench all the time if there is a torque specification available. 45 years of wrenching has taught me that its a good habit to get into.

Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it like my dad taught me...tighten it till it strips. Then back it off a quarter turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
